I’m starting to think this really has nothing to do with science or the climate To fight climate change, Democrats want to close the ‘digital divide’ One of the starkest inequalities exposed by the coronavirus pandemic is the difference between the digital haves and have-nots.

Has anyone noticed a reduction in Internet speed, especially during the day? Doing speed tests through Ookla, I’m seeing well below the 200mb I’m paying for. Not even getting to 100mbps.

It’s a really, really good idea to turn the Internet here in the U.S. into a public utility with massive federal (and some states are trying to pass their own) control via Net Neutrality, right? Also, somehow Trump is being blamed ‘Tool of repression’: Iran and regimes from Ethiopia to Venezuela limit Internet, go dark […]

She’s apparently just given up on the incrementalism of Net Neutrality and gone straight to government ownership Let’s create a federal Office of Broadband Access, and invest $85 billion into making sure every home in America has a broadband connection. That means publicly-owned and operated networks—no giant telecom companies running away with taxpayer dollars. https://t.co/37nVKC8xUe […]
