difference between the company's value and the value of property under
its control.

Subject: AT&T Has DC Pushing The Idea That 'Big Tech' Should Give
'Big Telecom' Billions For No Coherent Reason
from the we've-been-over-this dept
By Karl Bode
Last month we noted how FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr had taken to
Newsweek to dust off a fifteen year old AT&T talking point. Namely
that "big tech" companies get a "free ride" on telecom networks, and,
as a result, should throw billions of dollars at "big telecom" for no
real reason. You'll recall it was this kind of argument that launched
the net neutrality debate, when former AT&T CEO Ed Whitacre proclaimed
that Google wouldn't be allowed to "ride his pipes for free." Whitacre
was effectively arguing that in addition to paying him a premium for
bandwidth, tech giants should pay him a troll toll. You know, just
because.

Subject: Who Owns The Global Internet?
The Internet is the most important service in the world with billions
of users. But who exactly owns the Internet?
Over the past two decades, the internet has grown and expanded to
become a radically different version of its humble original.
Understanding what the internet is and how it works can be extremely
confusing.
