All of these suggestions make sense … good common sense. Wonder if Thomas Paine would agree.
Oh and I treat my email like I would a post card. Just saying.

US law firm was ‘caught in NSA surveillance net’ in Indonesia – report
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/feb/15/us-law-firm-nsa-surveillance-indonesia-australia
It was only a matter of time before the attorney-client privilege was trampled by the NSA, but this also violates conflict of interest since the government was also an adverse party.

Data caps completely change the way that people use the Internet. You could send countless emails on 25 GB of data, but any sort of streaming or video gobbles it up.
I may not live in rural Alaska but I can see the writing on the wall with Time Warner and Comcast.

Unfortunately ISPs gloss over the real debate, which is whether transit providers, content companies and CDNs should have to pay to peer — that is, pay for the right to deliver all of the traffic that an ISP’s users are demanding — given that the end user has paid the ISP to deliver the content the user has asked for?
It’s a long article but full of insights into the battle for broadband going on v out of sight and mind of most consumers.

Kansas bill would bar cities from selling cable, Internet services
http://www.kansascity.com/2014/01/31/4790321/kansas-bill-would-bar-cities-from.html
I am appalled this is happening in my home state. I want Time Warner to have to compete against anyone else in the broadband market in municipality. It galls me to no end that Time Warner sits on its hind end and provides inferior service while enjoying a monopoly blessed by my own city government.

Interesting idea. Not sure it’s a sound or safe one for rural America.

Here’s A New Way Facebook Is Pushing You To Share Your Contact Information
http://readwrite.com/2014/01/28/facebook-contact-information-request
I use Twitter much more these days than I do Facebook. I’ve locked down ally personal information months ago and I did not include phone or address info even then. If a “friend” I don’t personally know sends a request for such information, the non response silence will be deafening.

I was a bit surprised to read an article on net neutrality from my local metropolitan newspaper. Good balanced one too.

Netflix neutrality: Court ruling won’t boost your Netflix bill. Yet
I so want to cut the cord with Time Warner. Google Fibre needs to come to my home town.

What you need to know about the court decision that just struck down net neutrality
Not sure what I need to do to take action to preserve an open internet. Appealing to Supreme Court probably not a good idea. Suppose I’ll write my Congressmen, although the ISPs and cable industry have probably already bought them.
