New network will bring affordable service

We all know that access to high-quality, affordable wireless service can be difficult in rural areas. We’ve all experienced phone calls dropped in mid-sentence or seeing the words “no service,” emails that take hours to send and websites that never load. And all of us know what it’s like to get the monthly bill and be shocked by how much we’re paying.

FCC loses key ruling on Internet ‘neutrality’

A federal court threw the future of Internet regulations into doubt Tuesday with a far-reaching decision that went against the Federal Communications Commission and could even hamper the government’s plans to expand broadband access in the United States. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that the FCC lacks authority to require broadband providers to give equal treatment to all Internet traffic flowing over their networks. That was a big victory for Comcast Corp., the nation’s largest cable company, which had challenged the FCC’s authority to impose such “network neutrality” obligations on broadband providers.
