		<description><![CDATA[SpaceX has filed a plan to place more than a million satellites in low Earth orbit, recasting data centres as spaceborne infrastructure while testing regulators, safety, competition and the line between vision and paper ambition. <a href="https://circleid.com/postsspacex-proposes-a-million-more-satellites-on-paper">More...</a>]]></description>

		<link>https://circleid.com/postsreviling-universal-service-subsidies-and-then-showcasing-the-results</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, the Supreme Court will consider a challenge to the universal service subsidy program established soon after the introduction of telephone service by the AT&T Bell System and later officially adopted by the FCC as mandated by a 1996 law.1, 2 Universal service funding supports access to telephone and broadband service by subscribers in rural locales that commercial ventures will not serve absent a subsidy. <a href="https://circleid.com/postsreviling-universal-service-subsidies-and-then-showcasing-the-results">More...</a>]]></description>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts11-information-economy-policy-reversals-coming-to-a-marketplace-near-you</link>
		<description><![CDATA[In the wake of the election, sweeping policy shifts in the information economy are set to accelerate. Expect fast-tracked FCC reforms, Starlink subsidies, and AI-driven oversight to redefine media, tech, and regulatory landscapes. From relaxed antitrust to intensified media control, these eleven reversals signal a move toward deregulation and Chicago School libertarianism, with lasting impacts on U.S. markets and governance. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts11-information-economy-policy-reversals-coming-to-a-marketplace-near-you">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> The Role of Chronic Radio Interoperability Impediments in the Butler, PA Assassination Attempt (Featured Blog)</title>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20240802-role-of-chronic-radio-interoperability-impediments-in-the-butler-pa-assassination-attempt</link>
		<description><![CDATA[There are many inconvenient truths about radio spectrum sharing and transceiver interoperability that require full ventilation and resolution. Spectrum users want exclusive access and - news flash - they do not like to share! Campaign events, like the Trump Bulter, PA rally, require short notice, forced cooperation between and among federal, state, and local law enforcement officers, as well as a variety of other government agencies. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20240802-role-of-chronic-radio-interoperability-impediments-in-the-butler-pa-assassination-attempt">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> How Much Did the U.S. Wireless Carriers "Earn" From "Location Information Aggregators"? (Featured Blog)</title>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://circleid.com/posts20240430-how-much-did-the-us-wireless-carriers-earn-from-location-information-aggregators</guid>
		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20240430-how-much-did-the-us-wireless-carriers-earn-from-location-information-aggregators</link>
		<description><![CDATA[The FCC lawfully fined U.S. facilities-based wireless carriers nearly $200 million for selling highly intrusive location data about subscribers without their "opt-in" consent. In Section 222 of the Communications Act, Congress comprehensively specified how the carriers bore an affirmative duty of care not to disclose clearly defined Customer Proprietary Information ("CPNI"). The Act explicitly required the FCC, and no other agency, to protect telecommunications consumers. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20240430-how-much-did-the-us-wireless-carriers-earn-from-location-information-aggregators">More...</a>]]></description>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20240219-a-brief-primer-on-anti-satellite-warfare-tactics</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Satellites make it possible for governments to provide essential services, such as national defense, navigation, and weather forecasting. Private ventures use satellites to offer highly desired services that include video program distribution, telecommunications, and Internet access. The Russian launch of a satellite, with nuclear power and the likely ability to disable satellites, underscores how satellites are quite vulnerable to both natural and manmade ruin. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20240219-a-brief-primer-on-anti-satellite-warfare-tactics">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> Lies, Damn Lies, and Selective Statistics About Our Great Wireless Marketplace Thanks to the T-Mobile (Featured Blog)</title>

		<description><![CDATA[In the February 13th edition of the Wall Street Journal, Professor Thomas W. Hazlett offers a breathless endorsement of market concentration with the T-Mobile acquisition of Sprint, his go-to example. Apparently, mergers and acquisitions benefit consumers because they enhance competition and generate all sorts of positive outcomes that could not possibly have occurred but for the reduction in the number of industry players. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20240214-lies-damn-lies-and-selective-statistics-about-our-great-wireless-marketplace">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An unprecedented disinformation campaign purposefully distorts what consumers and governments understand about the upcoming fifth generation of wireless broadband technology. A variety of company executives and their sponsored advocates want us to believe that the United States already has lost the race to 5G global market supremacy and that it can regain it only with the assistance of a compliant government and a gullible public. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20190310_five_inconvenient_facts_about_the_migration_to_5g_wireless">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> Comcast Sneaks in Another Billing Line Item and "Earns" an Additional $1 Billion (Featured Blog)</title>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20180701_comcast_sneaks_in_another_billing_line_item_earns_1_billion</link>
		<description><![CDATA[My Comcast bill arrived today with a sneaky new $2.68 charge, $2.50 for leasing one (and only one) set-top box and $0.18 for the remote. This new billing line item, like the many others Comcast has introduced, adds to its bottom line with no additional capital expenditure. It shows how resisting the obligation to return to accepting set-top box free, "cable ready" sets was a smart strategy. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20180701_comcast_sneaks_in_another_billing_line_item_earns_1_billion">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> "Restoring" Internet Freedom for Whom? (Featured Blog)</title>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20171206_restoring_internet_freedom_for_whom</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, a colleague in the Bellisario College of Communications asked me who gets a freedom boost from the FCC's upcoming dismantling of network neutrality safeguards. He noted that Chairman Pai made sure that the title of the FCC's Notice of Proposed Rulemaking is: Restoring Internet Freedom. My colleague wanted to know whose freedom the FCC previously subverted and how removing consumer safeguards promotes freedom. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20171206_restoring_internet_freedom_for_whom">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> Hidden in Plain Sight: FCC Chairman Pai's Strategy to Consolidate the U.S. Wireless Marketplace (Featured Blog)</title>

		<description><![CDATA[While couched in noble terms of promoting competition, innovation and freedom, the FCC soon will combine two initiatives that will enhance the likelihood that Sprint and T-Mobile will stop operating as separate companies within 18 months. In the same manner at the regulatory approval of airline mergers, the FCC will make all sorts of conclusions sorely lacking empirical evidence and common sense. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20170519_hidden_in_plain_sight_fcc_chair_pai_consolidate_wireless_market">More...</a>]]></description>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20161130_likely_and_behind_the_scenes_changes_at_the_fcc</link>
		<description><![CDATA[It should come as no surprise that the Federal Communications Commission will substantially change its regulatory approach, wingspan and philosophy under a Trump appointed Chairman. One can readily predict that the new FCC will largely undo what has transpired in previous years. However, that conclusion warrants greater calibration. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20161130_likely_and_behind_the_scenes_changes_at_the_fcc">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> Broadband Carrier Quandary: Exploit Bandwidth Scarcity, or Reduce It? (Featured Blog)</title>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://circleid.com/posts20160503_broadband_carrier_quandary_exploit_bandwidth_scarcity_or_reduce_it</guid>
		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20160503_broadband_carrier_quandary_exploit_bandwidth_scarcity_or_reduce_it</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Comcast enhanced the value position of its broadband subscriptions by increasing the monthly data allowance to 1 Terrabyte (1000 Gigabytes). See Comcast Announcement. As an independent, unsponsored researcher, I can say "Thank You Comcast" without adverse consequences and only a bit of irony. This company does much to displease, but an expanded data allowance offers a winning proposition. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20160503_broadband_carrier_quandary_exploit_bandwidth_scarcity_or_reduce_it">More...</a>]]></description>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20150305_comcast_streaming_of_nbc_broadcast_content</link>
		<description><![CDATA[NBC soon will join the ranks of content providers offering a streaming option to cord cutters and mobile consumers. This future service warrants special attention, because two corporate affiliates within the Comcast family will participate in many parts of the United States: Comcast as the last mile, "retail" ISP and Comcast the parent of NBC-Universal. Operating as an ISP, Comcast has at least three pricing/interconnection options, each of which raise questions relating to network neutrality... <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20150305_comcast_streaming_of_nbc_broadcast_content">More...</a>]]></description>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20150205_whats_certain_about_the_regulatory_uncertainty_debate</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Incumbent carriers, such as AT&amp;T, Comcast and Verizon, have made countless "curtains for the Free World" assertions in the Network Neutrality debate. They claim that if the FCC reclassifies as common carriage aspects of Internet access, it will create "regulatory uncertainty" and "disincentive investment." Not one of the countless sponsored researchers funded by incumbents has provided a shred of empirical evidence to support these assertions. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20150205_whats_certain_about_the_regulatory_uncertainty_debate">More...</a>]]></description>
