POPSThe internet is out! It's really incredible what kind of impact a cut cable can have on the world We have become way to reliant on the web to be at the mercy of a single underground cable.

POPSCable/telecoms: let us meter your web usage So if you download videos and they lose your TV account, they can recover the cost. So if AT&T loses your phone business to Skype, they can recover the cost. Some in Congress will resist, and we can hope this issue will attract anti-monopoly attention that the GOP put to sleep during Bushnight.

POPSLife without broadband not worth it? While extremely useful, do people actually need broadband connectivity to survive? I'm a big 'Net user myself, but also wish for some time away from connectivity. Any thoughts?

POPSAnother Nail in Cable's Coffin I'm not watching cable TV just because I'm not free to choose (I mean completely free) and of course of commercials. In goal oriented information is not easy to insert manipulative technique. Apple QuickTime player is the best in quality and stability, the same for their hardware. So welcome, Apple, in our virtual life.

POPSFreePress : Verge of turning over our public Internet airwaves to the same giant phone and cable co
FreePress.net sent out this alert yesterday Imagine having a fast connection to an open Internet wherever you go, without needing a telephone wire or cable modem. The FCC could make this happen. Instead they’re on the verge of turning over our public Internet airwaves to the same giant phone and cable companies that control high-speed access for more than 96 percent of American users. Don’t let the FCC give away our wireless Internet to these price-gouging giants. We need to use these public airwaves to connect more Americans to an open, neutral and affordable Internet. And this is what I appended at the beginning of the comment field: The idea of using the existing TV spectrum for widely available broadband is tremendously exciting. As a business owner, I could see that this might spark a wave of creative entrepreneurship like the original dotcom boom a decade ago, and create useful technologies we can only dream of currently.

POPSCNN Drops to Last Place.... And the certain reason for this is: "The results demonstrate once more the apparent preference of viewers for opinion-oriented shows from the news networks in prime time." (tee-hee)

POPSFOX News finishes first.... There's a reason why most Americans choose to get their news from here. If the other news outlets were just a little less hate-America-first, their ratings might creep up. Our Country isn't perfect but is sure isn't as bad as the MSM wants to portray us. There are a lot of positive things to report...believe it or not.

POPSFirst they came for Radio... now Cable ??? Wow, I thought cable was privately owned and not subject to regulation like the "Airwaves" of Radio & Broadcast Television... these people want to silence all opposition. I didn't agree with Beck's comment above, but he didn't say anything that you don't hear Al Sharpten say on an almost weekly basis (though not about Obama). The idea that they want to take away everyone's first amendment rights, by saying the "public trust of the cable spectrum" is being abused is appalling. Cable is Privately owned (at least for now!!) and no public spectrum is used - just the private networks owned by the various cable companies. That won't stop the hard left from trying to regulate speech.

POPSCable's Bandwidth Crunch If you're a cable modem user, expect more traffic shaping (limiting transmission speeds for certain kinds of data) as well as higher prices. -David M. Ewalt

POPSAn Illustrated Guide to Every Cable You Need A Comment: "I hear Job's is working on the one cable to replace them all. Supposedly once you plug it into a device, it makes that device infinitely more powerful, then becomes invisible so there's no mess. One cable to rule them all, one cable to find them. One cable to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them."
