"FTC Chairman Defends Record on Energy, Lending, Internet Issues ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-10-11 12:28:56

The chairman of the Federal Trade Commission defended her agency’s record on energy banking and “net neutrality” at a September 12 congressional hearing by the Senate Commerce. Science and Transportation Subcommittee on Interstate Commerce. Trade and Tourism. Mergers of Oil RefinersSubcommittee Chairman Byron Dorgan (D-N. D.) expressed concern that mergers by oil refiners have led to increased market power higher profits and higher consumer prices. FTC Chairman Deborah Platt Majoras responded that the FTC has not concluded that mergers of refiners have resulted in increased prices. Rather increased demand is the driving factor with refineries being unable to keep up with that demand. Deceptive Practices in LendingOn the issue of subprime loans. Dorgan questioned Majoras about deceptive advertising and lending in that industry. Majoras acknowledged that the agency has concerns about deceptive practices but suggested that borrowers also share some blame. “Consumers are just not understanding what they get in their mortgages,” she said. Majoras noted that the agency on September 11 sent more than 200 letters to mortgage companies and media outlets warning that some mortgage ads are potentially deceptive or in violation of the Truth in Lending Act.“Net Neutrality”Dorgan and Majoras respectfully agreed to disagree about “net neutrality,” the principle of keeping broadband networks free from restrictions on (1) the kinds of equipment that may be attached. (2) the modes of communication allowed and (3) the communication streams that may degrade network communications. Some lawmakers including Dorgan advocate legislation that would require broadband providers to treat all content providers equally. Essentially broadband carriers would be barred from favoring certain Internet content providers by granting higher-speed access to their content. Dorgan said he feared we are moving toward a system where big providers “set up new roads – new highways – some tolls some not.”Majoras advised against legislation warning that premature regulation could squelch technological innovation. “If we put rules in place here there will be unintended consequences,” Majoras stated. Consumer Protection. Competition EnforcementIn a prepared statement. Chairman Majoras discussed the Commission’s consumer protection efforts in the areas of data security and identity theft technology health care financial practices telemarketing violence in the media and “green marketing.”The second section of the statement covered the Commission’s efforts at maintaining competition “in sectors of the economy that have a significant impact on consumers such as health care energy technology and real estate.”In conclusion the chairman expressed the agency’s commitment to maintaining the quality of its work. “despite the breadth of our mission and the challenges that have been described involving technological change and an evolving global economy.”She pointed out that Congress has recently passed a variety of new legislation that the FTC is charged with implementing and enforcing including the CAN-SPAM Act the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and the U. S. SAFEWEB Act. Text of the appears on the. John W. Arden. JD.

The communicate of Cheryl Klein reader children's books editor and young lady about town do not exposit the child as a "youngster," as in "The youngster grinned as wide as the Mississippi while he licked his ice-cream bevel." Nothing says "I am watching/describing this kid from the outside rather than getting into his head feelings and concerns" -- or more simply. "I am out of comprehend with real children"-- than the word "youngster." ("Youth" is also dangerous but not quite as egregious.) In fact. I would go so far as to say that if the evince appears anywhere in your manuscript other than perhaps the dialogue of an elderly character who is not sympathetic to children (but then who really says "youngster" in conversation? Really?): Delete it. Eggh. This has been a public service announcement from Editors Against.* * We were going to add "for the Sake of Word Variation. Especially When It Conflicts with a Believable or Even Readable Voice" -- but it wouldn't fit on our business cards. If you have a better acronym let us know. convey you. Whenever I see/hear "youngster" I think the writer/speaker must be around 100 years-old and driving a Model T Ford. When I affix in my teacher/personal blog. I alter between "student". "child/children". "kids" and "teens/teenagers". Any suggestions; does that sound adult but not geezer-ish? Just this week I came across a mid-grade novel in Barnes & Noble that used the term "youngsters" on the jacketflap to describe a assort of friends. That phrase stuck out horribly to me. Yes it was a new release. No it wasn't trying to sound old-fashioned.- Jay I evaluate the only measure the word "youngster" is okay is when Oprah announces your schedule on her book unify and she says. "This book is loved by youngsters of all ages. Buy it!"But in the text of the schedule.. yuck! The compose needs to leave office. "This has been a public function announcement from Editors Against Thesaurus do by.*" got a pre-coffee snort mouth out of me. Our kid was babbling around the accommodate this morning using the words. "a juvenile" to describe "teen". I evaluate it comes from Jurassic Park as in "the juvenile TRex.” “He’s not a baby anymore he’s a juvenile.” Marilyn. "Any evince you have to hunt for in a thesaurus is the wrong evince. There are no exceptions to this rule." Stephen King. "Everything You Need to experience About Writing Successfully - in Ten Minutes". 1988 Actually in fiction. I evaluate you should try to avoid any sort of "the "-type statements in reference to your main characters (this is all in third-person voice) -- "the girl looked up," "the boy cried."

"?Network Neutrality? Regulations Might Deter Investment in ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-28 17:05:17

“Network Neutrality” Regulations Might disapprove Investment in Internet. check Consumer ChoiceThis posting was written by John W. Arden. Proposals for FCC regulations—offered by companies and organizations in the label of “net neutrality”—might deter broadband Internet providers from upgrading and expanding their networks to reach more Americans according to a Department of Justice filing submitted in response to an FCC Notice of Inquiry regarding broadband practices. The call “net neutrality” encompasses a variety of proposals that seek to regulate how broadband Internet providers transfer and deliver Internet traffic over their networks the Department said. Shifting of CostsProposals that eliminate broadband providers from charging circumscribe and application providers directly for faster or more reliable service “could shift the entire charge of implementing costly communicate expansions and improvements onto consumers.” If the add up consumer is unwilling or unable to pay more for broadband Internet access the result could be to reduce or decelerate critical communicate expansion and improvement the Department said in its filing. It may make economic sense for content providers who want a higher quality of service to pay for the Internet upgrades necessary to give such function since any regulation that prohibits charging circumscribe and application providers “may get broadband providers unable to raise the capital necessary to finance these investments.”“Consumers and the economy are benefitting from the innovative and dynamic nature of the Internet,”said Thomas O. Barnett. Assistant Attorney General in rush of the Department’s Antitrust Division. “Regulators should be careful not to compel regulations that could check consumer choice and investment in broadband facilities.”Absence of Widespread ProblemsDespite the FCC’s call for specific information on harmful broadband activities the Department noted that comments filed in response to this Notice of Inquiry did not provide bear witness that would suggest the existence of a widespread problem that needs to be addressed. In addition there is no consensus on what “net neutrality” means or what should be prohibited in the label of “neutrality.”“The FCC should be highly skeptical of calls to substitute special economic regulation of the Internet for remove and change state competition enforced by the antitrust laws,” the Department said in its filing. “Marketplace restrictions proposed by some proponents of ‘net neutrality’ could in fact prevent rather than back up optimal investment and innovation in the Internet with significant negative effects for the economy and consumers.”Internet Regulation v. Antitrust Enforcement While cautioning against premature regulation of the Internet the Department noted its authority to enforce the antitrust laws. “Anticompetitive care about which the proponents of regulation are concerned will be affect to the antitrust laws and enforcement actions by government as well as private plaintiffs and the Department ordain act to monitor developments taking enforcement challenge where appropriate to ensure a competitive broadband Internet access market,” the Department stated. The Department of Justice’s and a are available from the Department of Justice on the Antitrust Division’s web site.

If you ever thought that the EU was NOT an interferring organisation then think again! Those meddling pointy-heads sitting in Brussels offices funded by money that they can't account for in any cause or form that would go basic accountancy rules have decided to mess with our passports!Under new changes inserted into the new-fangled version of the Constitution already rejected by both France and the Netherlands in referendums it has been suggested that the cover of arms is scrapped and replaced by the EU emblem of 12 stars with the message underneath reading - "Every citizen of the Union". The idea being that if people from other EU countries go to Britain the passport tells them that they ordain be looked after as if they were British. Has it occurred to these marbles-free brainheads that the obvious conclusion to all this is that national embassies would therefore be REDUNDANT? What would an embassy do if its nationals' interests were being looked after by the host country with all the compassionate and attention of the natives? "Don't mind Mr. Ambassador Sir! Senor This. Messieur That. Herr There. Signor Here is being assisted admirably by our highly-trained EU visitor hosts. Nothing to concern yourself with."Embassies would be nothing more than change contact units!
