 | The FCC has adopted new open Internet rules by a 3-2 vote along party lines. The rules, which affect both wired and wireless access, prohibit broadband providers from unreasonably interfering with efforts of consumers and edge providers to reach each other. The Internet is "simply too important to be left without rules and without a referee on the field," said FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler. [More...] |

Today's Story Highlights
FCC Comes Through on Net Neutrality
The FCC has adopted new open Internet rules by a 3-2 vote along party lines. The rules, which affect both wired and wireless access, prohibit
broadband providers from unreasonably interfering with efforts of
consumers and edge providers to reach each other. The Internet is
"simply too important to be left without rules and without a referee on
the field," said FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler.

Government Spies Came Up Dry, Says Gemalto
SIM card maker Gemalto, whose networks reportedly were breached by hackers from the United States National Security Agency and the UK's
GCHQ, on Wednesday said the spies got nothing. The hackers stole
cryptokeys for millions of SIM cards, according to The Intercept, which
cited documents released by NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden. Gemalto
denied any SIM cryptokeys had been stolen.

Customer Tech Support: Don't Go It Alone
You may have heard of a company called Geek Squad, but what about PlumChoice or SupportSpace? Even if you don't know their names, you may
very well be doing business with them right now. Who are they?
PlumChoice, SupportSpace are both relatively small companies that do
business with larger companies, providing top-shelf tech support
services to customers.

Court Sticks It to Apple in $533M Patent Case
Apple must pay patent licensing firm Smartflash US$532.9 million for infringing three patents. U.S. District Judge Rodney Gilstrap, who
presided over the case in Tyler, Texas, ordered Apple to pay the penalty
after a federal jury in Texas found that the company's iTunes software
infringed on the patent holder. That jury took eight hours to decide
Apple willfully used Smartflash's patents without consent.

Net Neutrality: All Over but the Shouting?
After well over a year of bitter, often highly partisan debates, and despite dissension within its ranks and opposition from industry groups,
the United States Federal Communications Commission is expected on
Thursday to vote in favor of rules enforcing Net neutrality. The
commission wants to regulate ISPs like common carriers under Title II of
the Communications Act of 1934.
