“American ISPs have convinced us that Internet access is expensive—getting speeds of 100Mbps will set most people back by more than $100 a month, assuming the service is even available. Where I live in Chicago, Comcast’s 105Mbps service goes for a whopping $199.95 (‘premium installation’ and cable modem not included). Which is why it was so refreshing to see the scrappy California ISP Sonic.net this week roll out its new 1Gbps, fiber-to-the-home service… for $69.99 a month.”
“A new Tennessee law makes it a crime to ‘transmit or display an image’ online that is likely to ‘frighten, intimidate or cause emotional distress’ to someone who sees it. Violations can get you almost a year in jail time or up to $2500 in fines.”
“The key to the success of our fundraising program is our database and our ability to prospect new donors, to remain at the cutting edge of political fundraising techniques and to effectively use the database for both fundraising and political purposes,” Gerstein said.
