Opposition Grows To 'Intercarrier Compensation Reform' - Martin's latest baby
bell gift not going over wellâ¦, dslreports
Nearly 75 members of Congress are urging the FCC to delay its November 4 vote
on revamping both the Universal Service Fund and the intercarrier compensation
system until more extensive public review can be completed. As we recently
reported, the FCC's Kevin Martin is pushing a plan written by Verizon and AT&T
aimed at allowing them to pay less to smaller rural carriers to connect calls.

FCC Poised To Approve White Space Broadband - McDowell: Could see a 5-0
approval...., dslreports
Despite a last ditch effort by the National Association of Broadcasters, the
politicians they pay to love them and Dolly Parton, it appears that the
November 4 vote on white space broadband will not only move forward, it may
pass overwhelmingly. FCC Commissioner Robert "what broadband problem?" McDowell
tells Reuters he thinks there's a good chance the vote could be 5-0 in favor,
quite a feat for a frequently

Another Broadband Tech Exec Says There's No Bandwidth Crunch, Techdirt
We've pointed out in the past that whenever you hear warnings about a coming
broadband crunch, it almost always comes from consultants and politicians. If
it comes directly from companies, it's inevitably from the CEO or lobbyists.
Yet, when you talk to execs who actually are technologists (even at telcos)
they're quite willing to admit that the whole broadband crunch issue is
something of a myth. All you need to do is regular upgrades to the network, and
most recognize that there's no risk to a network getting

IPv6: Zeno's Paradox and Invisible Brick Walls, CircleID
As we continue our ride toward the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses, Regional
Internet Registries public discussion groups such as the ARIN PPML mailing list
remain filled with endless discussions on how large swaths of allocated IPv4
addresses are unused, should be reclaimed or recycled one way or another, maybe
be put on the free market and sold to the highest bidder or parsed out in more
egalitarian controlled ways.

Reflections on the 10th Anniversary of the Sonny Bono Act, PK
The 10th anniversary of the DMCA is not the only infamous 10th anniversary that
Public Knowledge gets to âcelebrateâ this week. Yesterday was the 10th
anniversary of the enactment of the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act of
1998. That law extended copyright terms from 50 years after the life of an
author and 70 years in the case of corporations, to 70 years beyond the life of
an author and 95 years in the case of corporations. Named after Sonny Bono, the
late Congressman best known for his musical and

Camcording in movie theater results in 21-month sentence, Ars Technica
A man who pleaded guilty to recording at least two movies in a theater with his
camcorder has been sentenced to 21 months in prisonâand may be linked to more
than 100 other illegal films. The sentence comes as the movie industry lobbies
for tougher laws, even though the current ones apparently are working just fine.

Christian Science Monitor ends print edition, Lost Remote
The Christian Science Monitor will be the first national daily newspaper to
give up on print, focusing its resources on CSMonitor.com as well as starting a
weekly magazine. Sure, itâs not publicly traded â nor has it generated much
in print advertising â but the move from print to online will be watched
carefully by the newspaper industry.

Guy Who Insists E-Voting Machines Work Fine... Demonstrates They Don't, Techdirt
If someone pitched a movie based on e-voting machines that work as bad as the
ones being used in the current election, the story would be dumped as being
unrealistic. But truth is, indeed, often stranger than fiction. You may recall
on Friday that we had a post about problems with e-voting machines in West
Virginia selecting the wrong candidate when voters touched the screen. Various
officials rushed to insist that there was absolutely nothing wrong. One, the
local county clerk, Jeff Waybright insisted that the
