DOJ won't help FCC fight state laws that harm municipal broadband | Ars Technica - 1 views
-
DOJ attorney told a federal appeals court last week that "Respondent United States of America takes no position in these cases."

May opposes both the municipal broadband and net neutrality decisions and today runs a "free market-oriented think tank" called The Free State Foundation. He wrote that "the Department of Justice's curt statement advising the court that it takes no position in the appeal of the FCC's preemption of state laws restricting local government broadband networks is very curious. As someone who served as FCC Associate General Counsel, I can tell you this is a very rare occurrence."

he readers’ goals are different: Individuals reading an e-book for enjoyment aren’t required to pass a comprehension-based test afterward. While they found that learning is possible from both formats, learning from e-textbooks takes longer and requires more effort to reach the same level of understanding, even in a controlled lab environment. At home, students report taking even more time to read e-textbooks as well as higher rates of muti-tasking (e.g., Facebook, electronic chat, texting, email, etc.) than do their peers using printed textbooks.
