Re: [sustainable_tompkins-l] How Internet Co-ops Can Protect Us From Net Neutrality Rollbacks

[Miranda Phillips]

Reassuring and thought-provoking article, Tony.  Thank you!

The article talks about the many successful local internet service
providers across the country which serve as alternatives to monopolies like
Verizon.  The article argues convincingly that such smaller providers can
protect us from net neutrality rollbacks.  Do such local networks already
exist in upstate NY?  Have there been any attempts or plans to build such?

Monsanto says Mexico revokes permit to market GMO soy in seven states

Reuters Staff

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Monsanto Co said on Thursday that Mexico’s
agriculture sanitation authority SENASICA had revoked its permit to
commercialize genetically modified soy in seven states, criticizing the
decision as unjustified.

Monsanto said in a statement that the permit had been withdrawn on
unwarranted legal and technical grounds. The company said it would take the
necessary steps to safeguard its rights and those of farmers using the
technology, but did not elaborate.

SENASICA officials could not immediately be reached for comment. Mexican
newspaper Reforma cited a document saying the permit had been withdrawn due
to the detection of transgenic Monsanto soya in areas where it was not
authorized.

Monsanto rejected that argument, saying in its statement that authorities
had not done an analysis of how the soy on which their decision was based
was sown.

The revocation applies to the states of Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosi,
Veracruz, Chiapas, Campeche, Yucatan and Quintana Roo and follows a 2016
legal suspension of the permit.
