Hello,
I am not surprised by the news last month that the FCC will do away with net neutrality at a meeting in mid-December, giving incumbent ISPs such as telcos and cable operators a nice Christmas present for this year. Rather than a gift, it seems to me like its coal in the stocking for up-and-coming entrepreneurs and businesses who may lack the clout to potentially have to buy their way into what could become the next pay-per-play communications environment. We have a brief report on the anticipated vote below, with a link to some extensive BCoE work we reported on in July.

After reading the ITU report on the State of Broadband 2017 I have mixed feelings about our global broadband usage. On the one hand,more people are on broadband networks, ITU says. But then again billions more are not. There are a variety of reasons offered in the report, but that's a lot of people off the net.

This month as part of our newsletter, I thought I would provide you with a quick update on the FCC Incentive Auction as reviewed by my colleague Chris Grobicki.
