Submission + - FCC Slaps Down Marriott For Blocked Wi-Fi (cnn.com)

Frosty Piss writes: 'The Communications Act prohibits anyone from ... interfering with authorized radio communications, including Wi-Fi,' said FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler in a statement. "Marriott's request seeking the FCC's blessing to block guests' use of non-Marriott networks is contrary to this basic principle.' After being fined, Marriott petitioned the FCC to change the Communications Act, but that didn't happen.

There are many things Anonymous does which are morally dubious.

For example they have already forgotten about their pledge to take down ISIS interweb sites...

Sometimes I think they are just a bunch of publicity whores, but I haven't yet figured out what it is they get out of making announcments, doing it 1/4 assed, and quickily forgetting what they were doning and moving on to the next great headline grabber...

SpaceX will sell the Air Farce the rockets. The AF launches their gear into orbit. SpaceX has nothing to do with it more than to get paid for the hardware and some support personnel who will have to have security clearances.

That's not really the way DoD rocket launches work. It's certainly not how Boeing and ULA work.

Launching spy satellite is a very very lucrative business, and if Elon Musk is too headstrong into butting his SpaceX in, who knows what ULA will do next ...

Like what? Send over a few "tough guys"? Sabotage at SpaceX? ULA is going to have to "re-factor" their cash cow to be more competitive, or they will continue lose out on choice US government work; the public eye is on this stuff now, the politicians will have to answer for this sort of thing.
