Dieser Mann Könnte Die Netzneutralität In Den Usa Abschaffen

... Argument: Wer die Leitungen besonders stark in Anspruch nimmt, soll auch mehr zahlen. Bei der Deutschen Telekom und dem spanischen Pendant Telefónica ist etwa zu hören, dass sie beispielsweise den Internet-Giganten Google gerne zur Kasse bitten würden. Darüber hinaus böten sich ihnen neue Geschäftsmodelle, etwa durch differenzierte Tarife: Nutzer, die große Datenmengen saugen, zahlen mehr als Gelegenheitssurfer. Gibt es schon nicht-neutrale Netze. Aber sicher: Das Paradebeispiel sind die Mobilfunknetze. So blockieren etliche Anbieter den Dienst Skype oder verlangen dafür einen Zuschlag - die Software für Internet-Telefonie schadet dem eigenen Geschäftsmodell. Pai ist seit 2012 als Kommissar bei der FCC tätig und wurde damals von Obama ernannt und vom US-Senat bestätigt. Traditionell ist es üblich, dass zwei der fünf FCC-Sitze vom Präsidenten an die Opposition gegeben werden. Weil Pai bereits Mitglied der FCC ist, braucht er keine erneute Bestätigung durch den Senat. Die wird erst wieder ...

... americano. Al tempo stesso se ne avvantaggeranno anche i consumatori che avranno sempre più scelta e maggiore qualità dei servizi”. Ajit Pai era stato ospite di Luigi Gambardella al Digital Regulation Forum di Londra alla presenza dei maggiori investitori internazionali. — Luigi Gambardella (@lgambardella) 23 gennaio 2017. La nomina di un repubblicano alla presidenza della FCC è la prima dai tempi di Kevin Martin da 12 anni a questa parte. Lo stesso Pai ha confermato oggi su Twitter la sua nomina, dopo le indiscrezioni diffuse la scorsa settimana da Politico. Pai entra subito in carica, dal momento che il Senato ha già confermato la sua posizione di commissario sotto l’amministrazione Obama. Come sarà la FCC sotto il nuovo presidente Pai. La FCC nell’era di Trump potrebbe rimettere in gioco le regole sulla net neutrality, in particolare il diritto di tutti di accedere alla Rete promosso da Obama. In particolare, Trump potrebbe rivedere il concetto di Internet come bene pubblico, in particolare il divieto per i service provider di bloccare o rallentare determinati contenuti a favore di altri, riproponendo invece la possibilità di ...

Trump Nomeia Ajit Pai Como Chefe De Comissão Federal De Comunicações Dos Eua

... muitos grupos de telefone e TV a cabo do setor. Entre elas estão as regras sobre a neutralidade da internet, que proíbem que as provedoras dos serviços favoreçam alguns sites e aplicativos em detrimento de outros. Pai argumenta há tempos que a comissão sob o comando de Thomas Wheeler avançou em suas atribuições, o que sugere que ele deve direcionar a agência mais a favor das grandes companhias telefônicas e de TV a cabo. Para ele, regulações desnecessárias atrasam investimentos e inovação no setor. O republicano se opõe, por exemplo, a regulações que forçam os fornecedores de banda larga a perguntar aos consumidores se autorizam antes do uso de seus dados. Na avaliação de Pai, isso torna-se mais oneroso que os requerimentos para companhias de internet como Google e Facebook. Atualmente, há dois republicanos e um democrata na comissão, com dois lugares vagos, que devem ir para um republicano e um democrata. Um indiano-americano do Kansas, Pai atua como membro da comissão desde 2012. Durante seus quase 15 anos no governo, ele já foi funcionário do ...

Fcc’s Ajit Pai Says Net Neutrality’s Days Are Numbered Under Trump

... net neutrality rules being among the first to be cut down. Pai is the commission's senior Republican and could end up being the FCC chairman, at least on an interim basis until Trump chooses a long-term chair. "I’m optimistic that last month’s election will prove to be an inflection point—and that during the Trump Administration, we will shift from playing defense at the FCC to going on offense," Pai said in a speech yesterday before the Free State Foundation in Washington, DC, said. The commission "need[s] to remove outdated and unnecessary regulations. We need to fire up the weed whacker and remove those rules that are holding back investment, innovation, and job creation," he also said. Further Reading. Trump and net neutrality: How Republicans can make the rules go away. Pai has consistently opposed consumer protection rules that the FCC's current Democratic majority imposed on ISPs, including the net neutrality order that forbids blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization.

An Open Letter To Fcc Commissioner Ajit Pai

... more than 50% in the hardest-hit counties.”. Add to that the massive cellphone traffic generated during a disaster, which swamps the cell sites still working, and what remains is not simply a public left uninformed about an emergency, but a public that may be more prone to panic because of that lack of connectivity and information. However, AWARN messaging received by 3.0-enabled mobile phones would pair the resiliency of over-the-air TV broadcasting with the ubiquity of consumer cellphones, vastly increasing the likelihood that local, state and federal officials will be able to convey information to the public in an emergency and that broadcasters will be able to augment those dispatches with rich-media content. In September, the FCC adopted rules aimed at strengthening Wireless Emergency Alerts, which deliver warnings to Americans on their cellphones. One provision increases the number of characters available in WEA messages from 90 to 360 for 4 G LTE networks. Another requires participating providers to embed phone numbers and URLs in all WEA ...

Court: Indian lending companies subject to federal probe. SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal appeals court says lending companies operated by Native American tribes are subject to investigation by a government regulator. The 9 th U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco on Friday rejected a claim by three tribes that their lending companies were protected by tribal sovereignty from investigation by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. At issue were for-profit lending companies created by three tribes — the Chippewa Cree, Tunica Biloxi and Otoe Missouria.

Net Neutrality' Foe Ajit Pai Is New Fcc Head

... internet to reach consumers. Pai opposed online privacy regulations that force broadband providers to ask consumers for permission before using their data, saying they are more onerous than the requirements for internet companies like Google and Facebook. He voted against approving Charter Communication's $67 billion takeover of Time Warner Cable and a smaller company, Bright House — not because he opposed the merger, but because he thought some of the conditions required by the FCC, like barring data caps on home internet service, amounted to government meddling in business. PAI VS. THE ZERO RATING. Pai also criticized an FCC report on "zero rating" earlier this month, characterizing it as a meaningless document that won't influence the FCC under Trump. The report, issued in the last days of the Obama administration, took issue with the way companies like AT&T and Verizon exempted their own video services from wireless data caps, effectively making them cheaper to stream on phones and tablets than rival services such as Netflix. Future big media and telecom mergers may get a friendlier review under a Pai-led FCC. Pai voted to approve AT&T's 2015 acquisition of Direc TV. ...

Fcc Takes One Last Swing At At&t Before Republicans Kill Net Neutrality

... In drawing this conclusion, the commission underlines the criticism and concern of internet activists and net neutrality advocates across the country, who believe that zero-rated schemes discriminate against smaller content providers because they often give way to a practice known as “sponsored content” and thus narrow the competitive playing field. Most of these kinds of services appear to save customers money and claim to offer more choice, but when an internet service provider charges third-party content providers or channels that want to feature on the zero-rated service, ISPs then have control over which content they want customers to see. Last year, the FCC, under the leadership of current chairman Tom Wheeler, implemented new net neutrality rules to “protect and maintain open, uninhibited access to legal online content without broadband internet access providers being allowed to block, impair, or establish ...
