If you have read any of the technology or political news over the last weeks you most likely have seen that The FCC commissioner is  going to present his long awaited Net Neutrality proposal to the his commission and to the world this month. Organizations such as free press are already saying it’s not extreme enough ( Even though I’m not sure how they can say that when it’s not even out yet) and making [...]

I had several initial reactions to your piece but I knew that others would have knee-jerk, emotional reactions as people often do, and that type of reaction normally fuels these policy debates, but we never really get to real facts. Your article really only brings two feelings for me, and those are confusion and concern. First, I’m confused about what your goals are here. I’ve watched you write articles, give speeches and have even sat [...]

This post originally appeared on the huffingtonpost. You can see that post here After months of heated debate, intense partisan jockeying, goo-gobs of rhetoric being spun left and right and an exhaustive litany of hearings, comments and ex parte filings, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski finally announced that the Commission will, in fact, be voting on net neutrality rules during its December 21 meeting. While the official Order has yet to be released, it seems that [...]

If you haven’t noticed, the FCC has encouraged lots of people by its latest approach on the Net Neutrality issue.   The commissioners’ have offered what seems to be a good attempt to, as the NAACP frames it, “promote rules that safeguard the civil rights, free speech and economic opportunity for our nation’s most vulnerable.”  The Rev.

This year the stores appeared to up the ante by opening as early as 10pm on Thanksgiving night and some stores [...]

Over the last few days there has been a lot of chatter on the Internet that points to the notion that the FCC is working to approve Net Neutrality regulations before the end of the year. There are a few things about this that cause me to wonder about it. The timing of all of this is interesting because it comes in the wake of a tumultuous midterm election and subsequent pledges by policymakers to [...]

Check the interview I did with Mario Armstrong on his satellite radio show. He’s doing a great job educating people about technology. We talked about entrepreneurship, technology policy and how all of that effects minorities let me know what you think. http://www.marioarmstrong.com/2010/11/04/navarrow-wright-co-founder-with-hip-hop-mogul-russell-simmons/

By this last Tuesday, I believe we were all tired of the campaign commercials. And after just a few days, I have to admit the “what-does-it-mean” commentary is getting a little old. But I can’t pass up on sharing something that will be overlooked in the mainstream media and that some people would rather you not hear.
