Libya Internet is down again, according to Google tool

March 4, 2011 | 10:22 am Los Angeles Times

Libya has shut off the Internet again, according to a Google monitoring tool.

As of about 8 a.m. PST Thursday (or 6 p.m. in Tripoli, Libya's capital), the nation's Internet traffic began to flatline, and has been at zero since, says Google's Transparency Report.

Phi Beta Iota: While the world watches Libya, the USA is in the process of making the Internet a monopoly that can charge by the application instead of by the packet. In brief, Internet “neutrality” is a fraud in the USA, and the FCC is a front for the very large ISP's just as the Federal Reserve is a front for the private banks. Autonomous Internet is something that matters everywhere, including especially the USA.

Autonomous Internet: 4chan and anonymnity

Autonomous Internet, Civil Society, Cultural Intelligence

4chan and anonymity

Marc Savlov interviewed me for this article in the Austin Chronicle, generally about anonymity on the Internet and specifically about 4chan. I hope I made the point that anonymity is a wicked problem (what is identity, anyway?), and that it’s sometimes a solution (as in police states, viva Tor).

Coincidentally I had interviewed the phenomenal Tom Jennings yesterday for Plutopia News Network, and when he saw the Chronicle article, he sent this link to to a paper he’d written about 4chan.

“The effect of the code mechanisms chosen by 4chan encloses a robust and stable culture of a form and shape not possible in more finely controlled environments, and that code is deceptively simple.”

Christopher Poole, aka Moot, creator of 4chan, will deliver a keynote at 2pm Sunday, March 13, at SXSW Interactive.

LTE Spectrum War–Public Purchase Option…

Autonomous Internet

This is the depth to which we've sunk. The regulators and the monopolists playing poker with air. Lovely.

LTE Spectrum: It’s War

Clearwire and Sprint are reportedly at loggerheads over the wholesale cost of WiMAX service for Sprint’s mobile devices. Sprint CEO Dan Hesse threatened to find another 4G network provider if Sprint and Clearwire couldn’t reach a resolution. Sprint is making its case for lower wholesale rates by saying it could go elsewhere for LTE spectrum. That somewhere else is Lightsquared.
