Why the cable companies really want Net Neutrality
Cable Digital News – Cable Digital – Teeing Up Docsis 3.0 – Telecom News Analysis
First, cable has been getting spanked by the phone companies partly because they have been able to roll out their new high speed fiber services such as U-verse(AT$T) and FIOS(Verizon). The only drawback is they have to lay fiber all over God’s creation to do it. The FCC has been favoring the phone companies in their roll out attempts by trying to force local municipalities to allow the phone companies to roll out in rich areas of town only while forcing the cable companies to watch because of a loop hole in the rules. Cable is a one-way transmission. IPTV is not.
Not to be outdone, cable has a ace in the hole, DOCSIS 3.0. This ingenious method uses the existing copper lines to provide speeds of over 100Mbs bi-directionally. This makes AT&T and Verizon systems look like dial-up. Do you think they want everybody using this high speed system, of course not. They need to section it off to make more money, thus crippling America once again. Only the rich and affluent would know what to do with such a powerful system.

They played the brotha crazy.
If I didn’t know any better, after this past week I would have thought that Jeremiah Wright served that special “kool-aid” at his church in Chicago because that is how they played him in the media. I usually don’t write about this type of stuff, but it is a shame that as much access to knowledge we have through technology, we are so ignorant.
Rev. Wright preaches Black Liberation Theology which was started and given exposure by James Cone in 1968. This message of Christianity as it relates to blacks in American and the world preaches self reliance and empowerment. All things that you would think conservatives would love to hear black folks talk about except this message deals with empowerment and call into question those in authority who preach the gospel, but are not sincere in seeing justice and equality as Christ and the Bible preached. Since I said we lack information on the subject, check out this PBS video about James Cone and a speech he gave at the Havard Divinity School.

This is getting out of hand!-Civil Rights Groups Side With Comcasts Net Neutrality Stance — Net Neutrality — InformationWeek
Civil Rights Groups Side With Comcasts Net Neutrality Stance — Net Neutrality — InformationWeek
Harry C. Alford, president and CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce, said in a prepared statement. “Content discrimination is a real threat to an open Internet, but so are bandwidth hogs — particularly those who traffic in illegal, pirated material.”
Attention “Civil Rights Groups”, please know what you are talking about when you become front men and women for telecommunication companies that do not have your best interest at hand. Here is today’s lesson. Bit Torrents. This is the evil communication device that is being blocked by Comcast because it sucks up so much bandwidth. As you can see from this lesson, the opposite is true. P2P file transfers actually is a way more efficient way of transferring large files over the net as opposed to direct downloads.
Further more, everybody is not downloading illegal material as the media geniuses would have you believe. First of all, it ain’t that much good content from these folks to steal. A lot of bit torrent is for legitimate use like start up independent media companies who want to distribute their material on the net. These are the people the media giants are really afraid of because they can not control them or their content. Also I find it ironic, that the Bit Torrents are a good way of distributing Linux Distros, you know that free OS software that is so helpful to small businesses, non-profits and individuals. The same type of software that runs the National Black Chamber of Commerce’s website, Joomla. I know it very well. I use all the time.
