Big Telco’s fury over FCC plan to infuse telecoms policy with facts

I'll be at the Studio City branch of the LA Public Library on Monday, November 13 at 1830hPT to launch my new novel, The Lost Cause. There'll be a reading, a talk, a surprise guest (!!) and a signing, with books on sale. Tell your friends! Come on down!

Reality has a distinct anti-conservative bias, but conservatives have an answer: when the facts don't support your policies, just get different facts. Who needs evidence-based policy when you can have policy-based evidence?

Take gun violence. Conservatives tell us that "an armed society is a polite society," which means that the more guns you have, the less gun violence you'll experience. To prevent reality from unfairly staining this pristine ideological mind-palace with facts, conservatives passed the Dickey Amendment, which had the effect of banning the CDC from gathering stats on American gun-violence. No stats, no violence!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dickey_Amendment

Policy-based evidence is at the core of so many cherished conservative beliefs, like the idea that queer people (and not youth pastors) are responsible for the sexual abuse of children, or the idea that minimum wages (and not monopolies) decrease jobs, or the idea that socialized medicine (and not private equity) leads to death panels:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/26/death-panels/#what-the-heck-is-going-on-with-CMS

The Biden administration features a sizable cohort of effective regulators, whose job is to gather evidence and then make policy from it:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/10/23/getting-stuff-done/#praxis

Fortunately for conservatives, not every Biden agency is led by competent, honest brokers – the finance wing of the Dems got to foist some of their most ghoulish members upon the American people, including a no-fooling cheerleader for mass foreclosure:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/03/06/personnel-are-policy/#janice-eberly

And these same DINOs reached across the aisle to work with Republicans to keep some of the most competent, principled agency leaders from being seated, like the remarkable Gigi Sohn, targeted by a homophobic smear campaign funded by the telco industry, who feared her presence on the FCC:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/03/19/culture-war-bullshit-stole-your-broadband/

The telcos are old hands at this stuff. Long before the gun control debates, Ma Bell had figured out that a monopoly over Americans' telecoms was a license to print money, and they set to corrupting agencies from the FCC to the DoJ:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/11/14/jam-to-day/

Reality has a vicious anti-telco bias. Think of Net Neutrality, the idea that if you pay an ISP for internet service, they should make a best effort to deliver the data you request, rather than deliberately slowing down your connection in the hopes that you'll seek out data from the company's preferred partners, who've paid a bribe for "premium delivery."

This shouldn't even be up for debate. The idea that your ISP should prioritize its preferred data over your preferred data is as absurd as the idea that a taxi-driver should slow down your rides to any pizzeria except Domino's, which has paid it for "premium service." If your cabbie circled the block twice every time you asked for a ride to Massimo's Pizza, you'd be rightly pissed – and the cab company would be fined.

Back when Ajit Pai was Trump's FCC chairman, he made killing Net Neutrality his top priority. But regulators aren't allowed to act without evidence, so Pai had to seek out as much policy-based evidence as he could. To that end, Pai allowed millions of obviously fake comments to be entered into the docket (comments from dead people, one million comments from @pornhub.com address, comments from sitting Senators who disavowed them, etc). Then Pai actively – and illegally – obstructed the NY Attorney General's investigation into the fraud:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/05/06/boogeration/#pais-lies

The pursuit of policy-based evidence is greatly aided by the absence of real evidence. If you're gonna fill the docket with made-up nonsense, it helps if there's no truthful stuff in there to get in the way. To that end, the FCC has systematically avoided collecting data on American broadband delivery, collecting as little objective data as possible:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/05/26/pandemic-profiteers/#flying-blind

This willful ignorance was a huge boon to the telcos, who demanded billions in fed subsidies for "underserved areas" and then just blew it on anything they felt like – like the $45 billion of public money they wasted on obsolete copper wiring for rural "broadband" expansion under Trump:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/02/27/all-broadband-politics-are-local/

Like other cherished conservative delusions, the unsupportable fantasy that private industry is better at rolling out broadband is hugely consequential. Before the pandemic, this meant that America – the birthplace of the internet – had the slowest, most expensive internet service of any G8 country. During the lockdown, broadband deserts meant that millions of poor and rural Americans were cut off from employment, education, health care and family:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/02/12/ajit-pai/#pai

Pai's response was to commit another $8 billion in public funds to broadband expansion, but without any idea of where the broadband deserts were – just handing more money over to monopoly telcos to spend as they see fit, with zero accountability:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/05/26/pandemic-profiteers/#flying-blind

All that changed after the 2020 election. Pai was removed from office (and immediately blocked me on Twitter) (oh, diddums), and his successor, Biden FCC chair Jessic Rosenworcel, started gathering evidence, soliciting your broadband complaints:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/03/23/parliament-of-landlords/#fcc

And even better, your broadband speed measurements:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/04/14/for-sale-green-indulgences/#fly-my-pretties

All that evidence spurred Congress to act. In 2021, Congress ordered the FCC to investigate and punish discrimination in internet service provision, "based on income level, race, ethnicity, color, religion, or national origin":

https://www.congress.gov/117/plaws/publ58/PLAW-117publ58.pdf

In other words, Congress ordered the FCC to crack down on "digital redlining." That's when historic patterns of underinvestment in majority Black neighborhoods and other underserved communities create broadband deserts, where internet service is slower and more expensive than service literally across the street:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/06/10/flicc/#digital-divide

FCC Chair Rosenworcel has published the agency's plan for fulfilling this obligation. It's pretty straightforward: they're going to collect data on pricing, speed and other key service factors, and punish companies that practice discrimination:

https://www.fcc.gov/document/preventing-digital-discrimination-broadband-internet-access

This has provoked howls of protests from the ISP cartel, their lobbying org, and their Republican pals on the FCC. Writing for Ars Technica, Jon Brodkin rounds up a selection of these objections:

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/11/internet-providers-say-the-fcc-should-not-investigate-broadband-prices/

There's GOP FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, with a Steve Bannon-seque condemnation of "the administrative state [taking] effective control of all Internet services and infrastructure in the US. He's especially pissed that the FCC is going to regulate big landlords who force all their tenants to get slow, expensive from ISPs who offer kickbacks to landlords:

https://www.fcc.gov/document/carr-opposes-bidens-internet-plan

The response from telco lobbyists NCTA is particularly, nakedly absurd: they demand that the FCC exempt price from consideration of whether an ISP is practicing discrimination, calling prices a "non-technical aspect of broadband service":

https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/110897268295/1

I mean, sure – it's easy to prove that an ISP doesn't discriminate against customers if you don't ask how much they charge! "Sure, you live in a historically underserved neighborhood, but technically we'll give you a 100mb fiber connection, provided you give us $20m to install it."

This is a profoundly stupid demand, but that didn't stop the wireless lobbying org CTIA from chiming in with the same talking points, demanding that the FCC drop plans to collect data on "pricing, deposits, discounts, and data caps," evaluation of price is unnecessary in the competitive wireless marketplace":

https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/1107735021925/1

Individual cartel members weighed in as well, with AT&T and Verizon threatening to sue over the rules, joined by yet another lobbying group, USTelecom:

https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/1103655327582/1

The next step in this playbook is whipping up the low-information base by calling this "socialism" and mobilizing some of the worst-served, most-gouged people in America to shoot themselves in the face (again), to own the libs:

Hey Baba, it seems like you've been seeing a lot of yucky stuff online right now. A lot of people who aren't remembering their manners and are forgetting that there's people behind a screen. I know you like your screen time but please remember that the world isn't all like that okay? Some people are different online and forget their values and let's remember that these days, algorithms perpously show you things that'll make you upset. Yes, yes it's not very fair, is it sweetheart. Please remember to take some breaks and that the world isn't really like that. It's so important to protect yourself. Yes, silly even if you think you don't deserve it; because you do.

Learning Digital Marketing: Tips and Resources for Beginners

In the current digital world, it is critical for both individuals and organisations to grasp the art of digital marketing. Entering the world of digital marketing can seem like a difficult trip because of the vast diversity of internet platforms and tactics at our disposal. However, anyone can effectively leverage the transformative power of digital marketing if they have the correct tools and attitude. We'll explore the fundamentals of digital marketing in this in-depth guide, as well as many learning resources and practical advice for success in this ever-changing field. A reputable Top Digital Marketing Course in Coimbatore can provide the knowledge and abilities needed for those aspiring to become industry professionals to successfully traverse this dynamic environment.

Grasping the Core Principles

Embarking on your digital marketing odyssey requires a firm grasp of the foundational principles. Digital marketing encompasses a multifaceted landscape comprising social media marketing, search engine optimization (SEO), content marketing, email marketing, pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, and beyond. Each facet plays a pivotal role in connecting with and engaging your target audience.

Commence your journey by immersing yourself in the essence and utility of each digital marketing channel. For instance, social media marketing serves as a conduit for businesses to forge connections with their audience across platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn, while SEO serves as the bedrock for enhancing a website's visibility in search engine results.

Embracing Online Learning

One of the most potent avenues for acquiring digital marketing prowess lies in online learning platforms. The likes of Coursera, Udemy, and HubSpot Academy offer an extensive array of courses catering to various facets of digital marketing. Whether you're a neophyte or a seasoned practitioner seeking to augment your skill set, there exists a plethora of courses tailored to meet your requirements.

When perusing online courses, seek out those that proffer a structured curriculum, practical exercises, and industry-endorsed certifications. Many courses also afford opportunities for engagement with instructors and fellow learners, facilitating collaborative learning and knowledge exchange.

Keeping Abreast of Industry Trends

The realm of digital marketing is in a perennial state of flux, characterized by the continual emergence of novel trends and technologies. To maintain a competitive edge, it's imperative to remain abreast of the latest industry trends and best practices.

Cultivate a habit of staying attuned to reputable digital marketing blogs, subscribing to industry newsletters, and participating in webinars and conferences. These fountains of wisdom furnish invaluable insights into nascent trends, innovative strategies, and illuminating case studies spotlighting successful digital marketing endeavors. Finding the appropriate abilities is just as vital as selecting the appropriate tactics and methods. It can be very beneficial in this situation to register in the Digital Marketing Online Certification.

Enacting Hands-On Practice

While theoretical knowledge serves as a springboard, the crucible of hands-on experience is indispensable in mastering digital marketing. Establish your own blog or social media platforms to experiment with diverse tactics and strategies. Translate the theoretical underpinnings gleaned from online courses and industry resources into tangible outcomes through real-world projects.

Embrace a spirit of experimentation, and employ analytical tools to scrutinize your endeavors and glean actionable insights. The data-driven nature of digital marketing empowers you to refine your strategies iteratively based on empirical evidence.

Cultivating Specialization

As you traverse the digital marketing landscape, contemplate delving into a specialized niche aligned with your passions and proficiencies. Specialization enables you to delve deeper into a specific facet of digital marketing, be it SEO, social media advertising, email marketing, or content creation.

Becoming a connoisseur in a niche not only demarcates you from the crowd but also engenders myriad opportunities for career advancement. Businesses perpetually seek specialists capable of proffering astute insights and delivering tangible results within their niche domain.

Conclusion

Journeying towards mastery in digital marketing entails a multifaceted expedition characterized by unwavering dedication, perpetual learning, and adaptability. By internalizing the core principles, engaging with online learning platforms, staying abreast of industry trends, enacting hands-on practice, and cultivating specialization, you can forge a path towards proficiency in this dynamic arena.

Remember, digital marketing is an art imbued with nuance and dynamism. Embrace the ethos of experimentation and iteration, and chart a course tailored to your unique objectives and target audience. With perseverance and a strategic approach, you can harness the transformative potential of digital marketing to propel your endeavors to unprecedented heights in the digital realm.
