Important lesson: wireless can't deliver next-gen speeds at reasonable prices to single-family homes. http://t.co/WczT8tgg6G ->
It's pretty ballsy to demand more tax breaks when you suck that bad at your one job. http://t.co/afKYPyIqHf ->
An interesting take on removing TV price controls. It might be a good thing, long-term. http://t.co/lsm8zEC6yB ->
It's surprising to see a city fighting Big Red to make it keep its promises. http://t.co/sMsvW8NoJ4 ->
Here comes the cord-cutting clue train, last stop is the cable company. http://t.co/2kpfeqhswP ->
The biggest problem in net neutrality violations? Proving them. http://t.co/eSJjbBc3CP ->
More people want to buy The Weather Channel than ESPN. Ouch. http://t.co/j0QSww70YB ->
What isn't said: most rural fiber is build using a boatload of federal money. http://t.co/8hYPGpBfdy ->

Any money on Verizon getting away with this like they did in New Jersey? http://t.co/PmDh0KyCaU ->
A nice bonus: attention on Comcast’s failed merger means big penalties for breaking past merger promises. http://t.co/FqDI5ibtXR ->
Does fewer privacy lawsuits mean tech companies cleaned house? http://t.co/6AfBlKP8E4 ->
Jumping from one exclusive distributor to another proves you don’t get cord-cutting, guys. http://t.co/ou6JN1SQhM ->
Broadband Bytes for 2015-06-12 http://t.co/0pAXGmt5Wv ->
If you need 10Gbps at home relatively cheap, Vermont is the place for you. http://t.co/QW0TTIBG0K ->
The question on my mind: will TDS’ gigabit push hit St. George and Cedar City? http://t.co/uxN5Cevzd0 ->
“Sorry, we’re all sold out of Internet. We’ll let you know when we have more.” http://t.co/7pRZCGg08D ->
Home builders say they can’t sell houses without awesome broadband, and I need to sell my house fast so I think I’ll listen to what they say. http://t.co/IP9JqKLmSr ->
The bigger they are, the harder they fall on competitors. http://t.co/s6xVcguvz9 ->
Shouldn’t this problem caused by entrenched incumbents be, you know, explored a little more deeply? http://t.co/68qjQTTvEf ->
Now you can spend more money with a company you hate: CenturyLink offers TV service in SLC. http://t.co/Zbg2MI71lK ->
Not surprising that Netflix will up the bitrate when the bandwidth is made available. http://t.co/rv82KsPitD ->
A visualization of how a bunch of small regional cable and satellite companies became goliaths. http://t.co/bM0Y4VUTzv ->
A majority of consumers want gigabit right now. http://t.co/VsKr5HQlPK ->
It’s looking a lot like Comcast’s promised 2Gbps service is just more fiber-to-the-press release. http://t.co/sQBLef4X2Q ->
How many times can Verizon be caught not holding up their end up the bargain before someone does something? http://t.co/0BVM1hxUMj ->
This makes sense to me. Like Verizon, AT&T would rather push customers onto high-margin wireless services. http://t.co/bKoCUVkZv4 ->
Maybe the point of fiber-to-the-press release is to trick you into buying a faster DSL package. http://t.co/DMDNOYSlI9 ->
Comcast buying a big cell company wouldn’t surprise me. They need one to take on AT&T and Verizon. http://t.co/cgYnM2K4XK ->
It may be soon that you won’t need cable to get sports. http://t.co/GYOiSz7ObJ ->
I don’t think anyone is surprised that Comcast would double down on a failing strategy. http://t.co/l52t6gIE0P ->
Anyone want to bet that this fine is less than the money they made from the offense? http://t.co/pHyEAHllih ->
TWC might be able to advertise 1Gbps, but I’d bet lunch they can’t deliver. http://t.co/CxdRmoNyJ8 ->
Maybe Comcast could provide service in at least one city before announcing it in several more. http://t.co/scSKPw1eVt ->
More Comcast speed increases could be coming. http://t.co/44CgLYgSgs ->
Lifeline can now pay for broadband. http://t.co/l07AFZ9DQi ->

Net neutrality is now in effect. http://t.co/W2uEUV0H7k ->
Way to be creepy, Verizon. http://t.co/PZ35XekIxC ->
Data caps are all about the money. Like paying to get around them. http://t.co/iF5IFV8q2c ->
Re-tooling Lifeline for broadband means picking a fight with Congress. http://t.co/ElPhftSHhr ->

Think your ISP can't get any worse? They just hit a 7-year low in customer satisfaction. http://t.co/q4epsQCkn4 ->
CenturyLink gigabit might be showing up in UTOPIA cities. http://t.co/zp2w6eLEpy ->

Now that everything is data, the FCC wants your ISP to help protect your privacy. http://t.co/w2bWAxu6Kw ->
Not really sure that Charter-TWC is any better than Comcast-TWC. http://t.co/FaVHgbVzK1 ->
Alternative title: "Why you never ever EVER use an ISP-provided router". http://t.co/73nWWa236J ->
Not sure if you can get Internet service at your new house? Blame the erosion of local franchise authority. http://t.co/SdjeGIylMQ ->
Next up from the Worst Company in America: more media consolidation. http://t.co/8lZFBCfTrR ->
Does Google Fiber encourage cherry picking? AT&T is sure of it. http://t.co/w9CpJScuAa ->

Utah has a new tool for locating business broadband services. http://t.co/hPkh8AaFSn ->
"Well gee golly gosh, that competition stuff really lit a fire under us." – AT&T http://t.co/qqR1lXVrYV ->
What if everything else tried to bundle like cable? http://t.co/IkHadsizQc ->
How could deregulating an uncompetitive and universally reviled industry possibly go wrong? http://t.co/IHuJNyuWmy ->
I like the outcome, but it's a legit question if the FCC has authority to preempt state bans on muni broadband. http://t.co/cYYKsOFpfR ->
CenturyLink's three point plan for 2015: business services, cell towers, and… rate hikes. http://t.co/MAGf6HLXzV ->
Company that gorged itself on unwanted Verizon copper now in a death spiral. http://t.co/Zh9lQiv4MV ->
Cable won't tell you that they can't deliver gigabit over DOCSIS 3.1. They have to use fiber. http://t.co/4BOlqCz1t2 ->
Utah is a top contender for being the first gigabit state. UTOPIA provides the most served addresses. http://t.co/4olzRbX6Gg ->
Denied broadband, an angry telecommuter starts pitching muni fiber. (Hey, sounds familiar!) http://t.co/3plXaL3Max ->
Having a hard time getting data about broadband? You're not alone. http://t.co/9tGwgokVdm ->
An ISP that offers free legal help against copyright trolls. http://t.co/Jd1fXIeKFP ->
Going fiber actually saves telcos a lot of money. http://t.co/chwIRNGmwO ->
Apparently Google is a little more aggressive than a normal ISP at hounding you about copyright. http://t.co/aSnx1Pzvys ->

NYT: broadband is a utility, so why shouldn't states and cities be more deeply involved? http://t.co/buYpd1rv4P ->
AT&T starting to realize that it needs to build long-promised fiber just to stay competitive. http://t.co/RotOKAzbDN ->
Yet more consolidation of vertical monopolies of content production and distribution. http://t.co/Hcio5ZwNfR ->
Not fulfilling merger conditions seems to be a standard thing in telecom. And they get away with it. http://t.co/UAQOvjiHJx ->
I'm sure CenturyLink will be TOTALLY doing network upgrades when they don't even actually own it anymore, right? http://t.co/lns8Ge7B98 ->
Rural broadband should take its cues from rural electrification. http://t.co/KlpOXHkTzN ->
Bad ISPs have to scramble to fix issues before they'll start getting hit with complaints. http://t.co/6VREe1BYF4 ->
How is "agree to these terms to get your money back" anything but blackmail? http://t.co/fSRaYFbHdq ->
Verizon drops more hints that it doesn't want to be in the pesky business of wireline networks. http://t.co/6TfT9P8SM6 ->

Incumbents get really bent out of shape when some "uppity" states decide to improve broadband without them. http://t.co/8rrfCcFshe ->
Broadband Bytes for 2015-05-01 http://t.co/rstsOPv77Y ->
Missed in this op-ed: Delta and others use enterprise-class connections. The kind Google won't sell. http://t.co/tqDr0ym0vP ->
Cable two years ago: "Gigabit is all hype! You won't need it for decades!" http://t.co/2jTzcUEqeI ->
Could airlines take a page from hotels and make Internet access an included amenity? http://t.co/RHIrN2GRoM ->
Cable doesn't make any money for cable companies. http://t.co/1RsYwQf5EW ->
What if Comcast had spent that money on improving customer service or speeds? http://t.co/bB6ciKQ77y ->
100K Utah homes hooked up to gigabit in 12 months? Who's going to follow up on that? http://t.co/DlE66lVMzF ->
Wheeler to cable: "shut up and compete already". http://t.co/NcZ8n5Z0bu ->
Can $300M improve Comcast's abysmal customer service? http://t.co/x0rL4XD2OP ->
Guys, your problem goes so much deeper than brand image. http://t.co/RN7dIcK4vt ->

If you're going to resell online video, what's in it for your potential customers? http://t.co/SqIPDL85MU ->
Shorter TWC: "Sure, we'll consider a date with Comcast's uglier cousin." http://t.co/EpQpgUp2oW ->
It's 2015 and a large phone company can't make online ordering work properly. http://t.co/8bSwEudlUR ->
Miss last week's GigUtah discussion? Watch it on YouTube. http://t.co/GpDlfYPqNB ->
A little bit of threatening can go a long way in getting ISPs to play nice. http://t.co/NFIQLGTUO3 ->
Apparently all the big cablecos and telcos are upset about Title II. http://t.co/9ObIjO4p6O ->
If you want incumbents to do gigabit, have your city beat them to the punch. http://t.co/5WYcGjIsVP ->

Hear a panel discussion about gigabit networks in Utah. (Or, you know, go in person if that's your thing.) http://t.co/0eVmGLNoyH ->
What, Netflix, you didn't know you were making a deal with the devil? http://t.co/qnt0YEW3Rz ->
Verizon gets awfully close to unbundling channels. http://t.co/iD0bIbRVZI ->
A range of 50m? Seriously? Yawn. http://t.co/05YN2tH0JM ->
Maybe someone could let ALEC know about the Streisand Effect. http://t.co/tAAtO0a1wY ->
I'm sick of waiting for Macquarie and the MS2 cities to make a decision. #utpol http://t.co/5Ie3UfPOAG ->
Is being a telco still your main business when you spend so much time suing other people? http://t.co/2Lsb0e8xoj ->
Sprint is pretty sure that robust competition is good for its bottom line. http://t.co/J3qThccWrk ->
Google jumps into the cell service business as an MVNO. http://t.co/kBwe8NUOTu ->
Apparently "price for life" excludes all of the nonsense surcharges on your CenturyLink bill. http://t.co/pcryGnGX2z ->
The Comcast-TWC deal is deal. http://t.co/1E0qkaKifM ->
What is missed: CenturyLink is getting a boatload of public money to build a closed network. http://t.co/XLpzWGwTLJ ->
CCINO: Cable Company In Name Only? http://t.co/5sn53pImkR ->
Conspicuously absent from the list: fix customer service issues and improve broadband services. http://t.co/j3TDl0v35b ->
