Today's Story Highlights

Net Neutrality Battle Lines Drawn as FCC Vote Looms
FCC Chairman Ajit Pai's long-brewing plan to repeal Net neutrality has
the broadband, telecom and entertainment worlds at loggerheads. The
commission's expected Dec. 14 vote could result in a complete rewrite of
the script for the Internet's competitive landscape and consumer
protection models. The repeal of Net neutrality would end restrictions
imposed by the Obama administration in 2015.

3 Ways to Buff Up Your Website and Do More Business
Let's face it: Your website is central to your e-commerce business.
Upgrading your website is one of the most important things you can do to
bring in new customers and sell more products. Sometimes, though, it's
difficult to know exactly how to improve your site. To help you out with
that dilemma, here are three ways to refresh your website and boost your
business without breaking the bank.

B2B Tech Marketers Have Work Cut Out for Them
Product reliability and ease of use are key for B2B technology
marketers, suggests a recent survey of technology product and service
decision makers in the U.S. Four hundred B2B tech buyers participated in
the survey, conducted for Lavidge by WestGroup Research. Overall, 68
percent cited reliability as the most critical criterion in their
purchase decisions; 64 percent said ease of use was key.

AWS Gives IoT a Boost With New OS, Services
AWS shone a spotlight on IoT and machine learning technologies earlier
this week, with the announcement of a new operating system and several
new services designed to encourage radical expansion of their deployment
and use across multiple industries. The new OS, Amazon FreeRTOS,
simplifies development, deployment, security and maintenance of
microcontroller-based edge devices, according AWS.

Snapchat Draws Bright Line Between 'Social' and 'Media'
Snap aims to combat fake news on Snapchat by separating content from
professional creators from postings by friends and family. Stories and
Chats from friends will appear on the left side of the camera, while
Stories from content creators, publishers and other members of the
community will appear on the right side. Snapchat aims to disentangle
"social" from "media," noted Snap CEO Evan Spiegel.

CPQ's Other Life
Configure, Price, Quote systems have a name problem. When they debuted,
their basic functions gave a name to the category that was self-
explanatory, and it fit well. As with any good idea in technology,
however, frequent use brought with it demand for more functionality that
quickly outstripped the technology's charter -- a happy problem.

Cyber Monday Sales Shoot the Moon
Online sales hit a new record of $6.59 billion on Cyber Monday -- a 17
percent increase from last year's sales for the day -- making it the
largest online shopping day in history, based on Adobe Analytics data.
Mobile shopping also broke records, starting with the channel's first-
ever $2 billion sales day. Smartphone shopping accounted for more than
21 percent of e-commerce revenue.

Black Friday Shoppers Embrace Mobile, Set New Online Records
U.S. retailers crossed a historic new threshold over Thanksgiving
weekend as consumers set new records for e-commerce activity and
embraced mobile shopping like never before. The record-breaking $5.03
billion spent online on Black Friday -- a 17 percent increase -- was in
line with expectations. Consumers spent about $43.42 billion on e-
commerce holiday shopping from Nov. 1 to Nov. 26.

Offsetting Asymmetry With Automation
In the security world, there is a truism that defense is harder than
offense because it's an asymmetric playing field. The bad guys need only
find one path into an environment -- one place where everything hasn't
been done exactly "just so" and perfectly -- while those charged with
securing that environment need to protect against intrusions everywhere
they have a technology footprint.

Trump Puts Federal Cloud Investments on Front Burner
One of the few policies that President Donald Trump's administration has
carried over from his predecessor is that the federal government needs
to make vast information technology performance upgrades -- especially
to cloud-based platforms. That should comfort vendors seeking business
in the federal market at all levels of cloud offerings -- hardware,
software or services.
