The chipmaker told the court that a Class of 250 million people is unprecedented and unfeasible. https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/lawsuit-news/855112-qualcomm-says-class-certification-price-fixing-lawsuit-unfeasible/ -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + The Telecom Digest would not be possible without the generous support + + of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20180824032024.GA434@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2018 23:20:24 -0400 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: The FCC sacrifices the free and open Internet on the altar of deregulation In defending his proposed rollback of federal net neutrality rules, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai has repeatedly said that he's merely trying to return to the "light touch" regulation that helped make the internet what it is today. That's transparently false, and Pai knows it. The deregulation of AT&T, Comcast and other broadband providers that Pai and the commission's other Republican appointees are expected to approve Thursday is a dramatic abdication of authority that could usher in an ugly new era for individuals and companies that offer content and services online, and for the people who rely on them. http://www.latimes.com/opinion/editorials/la-ed-net-neutrality-rollback-20171214-story.html# -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + The Telecom Digest depends on generous supporters like John Levine + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------ Message-ID: <514b7657-5f83-db40-0979-6e67c69fbdaf@horne.net> Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2018 12:52:55 -0400 From: dannyb <removed@invalid.telecom-digest.org> Subject: #2 of 2, CWA...
