You are facing your accuser. You just don't have the security clearance to view the evidence. And because such evidence will raise nasty questions about how it was collected. Like what's happening now...

I want a TV series of just pilots or things that got picked up but were canned and never shown. Stuff like that. If done right it could be entertaining. Give some details on it before it shows. Who knows there could be a winner lurking in there and it would get the attention it deserves.

"It is the equivalent of repeatedly hitting the refresh button on a webpage"... Only if you, not a program, can click refresh in excess of at say 500 times per minute, non stop for 24 hours and get a couple thousand of your buddies to join in. Good luck with that.

I heard this before back in the late 90's when I a customer called up and asked why he couldn't connect. I told him "Sir you're account has been disabled for spamming". He new darn good and well he was spamming, oh but he denied it, and in frustration claimed freedom of speech. Good luck with that governments can deny speech we're not the government. Boy was he upset. Fun times. Sad these days spammers don't seem to get burned so easily unless they are dragged into court by someone big company...

Sorry .gov's looks like you might lose your spam filtering.

"ISPs like Time Warner aren't sure the demand exists for 1Gbps internet, so it's unlikely they'll leap to invest in their own build-out."

The (the big players) will however leap to the effort to squelch it. If Google wants to make this happen which would change the landscape they are going to just have to do it and drag everyone kicking and screaming. As well as give their lawyers something to do.

Why on earth do we have to do the work of the FTC? It's not enough that they have a cozy government job they now farm out, in the form of a contest, their work. I do have to give them credit. They probably would have just hired some consultant company to do the work and get charged a few million dollars for the plan. So it's at least cheaper... Why on earth do we have these agencies that can't do their own work is beyond me...
