skry“As a reward for promising to be more racist, Verizon recently saw its $20 billion merger with Frontier approved by the Trump FCC. Comcast is rumored to be eyeing a merger with T-Mobile.

As usual, the two companies are promising that more industry mergers will somehow make the sector more competitive”. <a href="https://www.techdirt.com/2025/06/09/trump-2-0-is-proving-to-be-a-bonanza-for-more-harmful-consolidation-among-broadband-giants/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.techdirt.com/2025/06/09/trump-2-0-is-proving-to-be-a-bonanza-for-more-harmful-consolidation-among-broadband-giants/</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/monopoly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#monopoly</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mobile</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tmobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tmobile</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/comcast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#comcast</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/charter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#charter</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cox</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/broadband" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#broadband</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/usa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#usa</a>

In a move that has stunned broadband advocates and local leaders across the country, President Donald Trump has officially dismantled the Digital Equity Act, a cornerstone of the Biden administration’s plan to expand internet access in underserved communities.The president made the announcement Thursday on his social media platform, Truth Social, declaring the program unconstitutional and characterizing it as a “racist handout.” His message read in part, “No more woke handouts based on race!

Miguel Afonso Caetano"The US Senate today voted along party lines to kill a Federal Communications Commission program to distribute Wi-Fi hotspots to schoolchildren, with Democrats saying the Republican-led vote will make it harder for kids without reliable Internet access to complete their homework.The Senate approved a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to nullify the hotspot rule, which was issued by the Federal Communications Commission in July 2024 under then-Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel. The program would be eliminated if the House version passes and President Trump signs the joint resolution of disapproval.Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) announced the plan in January, saying the FCC program would "imped[e] parents' ability to decide what their kids see by subsidizing unsupervised access to inappropriate content." He also alleged that the hotspot program would shift control of Internet access from parents to schools and thus "heightens the risk of censoring kids' exposure to conservative viewpoints.""<a href="https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/05/senate-approves-ted-cruz-plan-to-block-wi-fi-hotspots-for-schoolchildren/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/05/senate-approves-ted-cruz-plan-to-block-wi-fi-hotspots-for-schoolchildren/</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Wifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wifi</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Broadband" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Broadband</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DigitalDivide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DigitalDivide</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Hotspots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hotspots</a>

MathzyMore Dad issues. Found out Dad's paying £60 a month for broadband that barely scrapes 15Mbps and a landline that doesn't work.I think I've persuaded him to close the account and his landline. He has enough signal on his mobile around the house and - hopefully - will only be using his phone for calls, emails and messaging anyway.Really pissed off with Plusnet. I imagine them - like others - are raking it in from the elderly and/or technologically challenged.<a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Plusnet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plusnet</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Broadband" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Broadband</a>

Miguel Afonso Caetano"In sum, while BEAD was not as ambitious as a Green New Deal–style program, which would enlist an entirely public and unionized workforce, it was better than a garden-variety neoliberal public-private partnership with zero regard for labor standards.Fiber-optic systems handle growing bandwidth demands through equipment upgrades, which require long-term maintenance crews — meaning stable employment and durable internet for these communities for decades to come. Instead of this promising vision, rural Americans now face the prospect of receiving inferior internet service while the potential for sustainable union employment evaporates in favor of satellite technology that requires minimal ongoing workforce investment in their communities.By the time Biden left office, his administration had just finished approving state proposals, setting the stage for implementation. So long, BEAD. We hardly knew ye.The promise of laying fiber-optic cable was that it would require workers on the ground everywhere, creating jobs throughout rural America. By contrast, Starlink satellites are made in two locations in Washington and Texas, launched from Cape Canaveral, and managed remotely from SpaceX headquarters — bypassing any meaningful job creation in the communities that stood most to benefit."<a href="https://jacobin.com/2025/03/musk-starlink-rural-internet-jobs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://jacobin.com/2025/03/musk-starlink-rural-internet-jobs</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Musk</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/StarLink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StarLink</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Broadband" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Broadband</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/RuralAmerica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RuralAmerica</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DigitalDivide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DigitalDivide</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Unions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Unions</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/BEAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BEAD</a>
