When it comes to broadband, America is the original shithole country: a land of copper wires wrapped in newspaper, then dipped in tar and draped over shrubs and sold to suckers with no other choice at some of the highest prices in the western world.

America's broadband barons are farcically dirty, and while president after president has given them a free ride to one degree or another, it was during the Trump years that they really got SAVAGE, fucking over the entire nation under the idiotic grin of FCC Chair @AjitPai.

2/
Now Pai is out of office - and blocking me on Twitter (oh, *diddums*) - and America has a chance to fix things. REALLY fix things: not just showering telco monopolists in money for their shareholders in exchange for bored frauds purporting to show broadband investment.

Patent troll IP is more powerful than Apple's: Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

I was 12 years into my @locusmag column when I published the piece I'm most proud of, "IP," from September 2020. It came after an epiphany, one that has profoundly shaped the way I talk and think about the issues I campaign on.

locusmag.com/2020/09/cory-d…

1/ Image
That revelation was about the meaning of the term "IP," which had been the center of this tedious linguistic cold war for decades. People who advocate for free and open technology and culture hate the term "IP" because of its ideological loading and imprecision.

2/
Ideology first: Before "IP" came into wide parlance - when lobbyists for multinational corporations convinced the UN to turn their World Intellectual Property Organization into a specialized agency, we used other terms like "author's monopolies" and "regulatory monopolies."
