Where in the Intel video you posted a link to does it mention "3G" or "wireless". It infers "wireless" but I don't see anymore than that. Which standards do these "3G" chips support? EVDO? UMTS? Also, what frequency bands?

IPMI can do many of the management things Intel is crowing about in the video. Including powering on the server when it is powered off and getting KVM sessions.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Do you have any evidence other than the web site of a known conspiracy theorist or a marketing video from Intel?

Voicing your dissent by throttling FCC's access to networks you control is unlikely to get you in trouble. Trying to interfere with an election is an entirely different matter.

Verizon has a public peering policy. https://business.verizon.com/MyBusinessAccount/one.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=gb_policy&page_id=peering_policy

I've not read through it carefully.

No, I don't know how much you pay in federal income tax. Why don't you tell us what percentage you pay in federal income taxes?

Would you prefer we go back to the federal income tax rates we had in the 1950's - 1970's?

Telecommunications Act of 1996 forced local phone companies to sell access to their copper. In many parts of the country the wholesale price for a copper loop to the customer was MORE than the retail price for similar service from the ISP part of the telco. When those requirements were removed ISPs promptly stopped renewing the copper access contracts.

This is why you have a choice between the local phone company or the local cable company for internet service.

Not bad cheese, bad (rye) bread.

The USA has some of the highest statutory corporate tax rates. However, according to the GAO, their average effective tax rate after all the tax breaks is 12%, which is the lowest since 1972.

The anti-government nutjobs love to tell everyone the USA has some of the highest corporate taxes in the world. These people should start telling the whole truth, not just the parts they like.

Quorn is available in the USA in some supermarkets, but doesn't seem to get much press coverage. Soy based meat substitutes all have that "soy" taste, Quorn is made from mycoprotein and does not have that taste.

If an SMB does not have the resources to operate then they will not be successful. It doesn't matter what the resource is, office space, electricity, phone lines, etc. People who run SMBs seem to think electricity is important, but IT is not.

I see this all the time, an SMB customer buys telephone or internet service from the company I work for and then the customer thinks we have become their IT department. They are desperate for IT help, but not desperate enough to actually hire someone to take care of it. I have little sympathy for such companies.

Using a drone makes assassination inexpensive, easy, and risk-free, as compared to physically sending people. I do not want assassination it to be inexpensive, easy, or risk free. I want it to be expensive, difficult, and risky.

Do you have suggestions for other ways to accomplish the same thing?

Nobody will "boycott the internet". I tried living without a personal e-mail address for a couple of months, it was much more difficult than expected. I continue to use the internet, but far less than before. Seldom purchase anything online anymore, seldom use debit/credit cards anymore. I've reduced my personal web usage to only a few web sites (slashdot being one of them), Cell phone usage drastically reduced. You know what would stop the NSA? If everyone stopped buying stuff online, stop using credit / debit cards, reduce or eliminate cell phone use, etc then business will start to realize the NSA is causing them to lose money and might try to do something about it. That will never happen. I can't stop NSA spying but I can reduce my online footprint. Paying with cash is one of the best counter surveillance methods available.

I would be outraged if the soldiers were drafted (conscripted) and forced to go to war. This is not what happened.

They applied for a job, they were trained in their job, they get paid (poorly) for their work. If they didn't want to get killed in war then they should not have applied for a job with the military.

There is plenty of other things be outraged about with regards to the Iraq War.

The only way to win is to not play the game. Unfortunately most people won't stop playing the game. They won't stop using the internet and won't stop using credit/debit cards. I am slowly weaning myself off the internet. At this point I use the internet around 90% less than before the Snowden revelations. I can't seem to give up that last 10% (which includes).

Verizon's cellular replacement does not support fax, modem, postage machines, alarm systems etc. I would not want to be a small business in that area. Unlike the copper, Verizon is not required to lease capacity on their cellular replacement.
