Free Federal Wireless Broadband For All Americans? Fuggedaboutit!
The United States government is not going to be providing free WiFi Internet access to consumers anytime soon. That news may surprise anyone who read a startling Washington Post story on Sunday that seemed to confuse a fairly esoteric telecom policy proposal about the use of so-called “white space” wireless spectrum with some sort of free national wireless Internet access plan. The “free WiFi for all” story, which was passed around uncritically by Internet blogs and news sites, set off a furor because the notion cuts to the heart of ongoing battles over access to the Internet, the “digital divide,” and federal policy decisions that could have major implications for the telecom, cable, and technology industries. But the story was wrong, as Ars Technica pointed out. On Tuesday, outlets that repeated the bunk story began walking their reports back, in some cases apologizing for giving bad information to the public. The episode, which provoked a strong pushback from tech ...

Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - 09:58 Al Bello/Getty Images Rolling Stone reports Jay-Z and Beyonce have attempted to trademark the unusual name of their daughter, Blue Ivy, as a brand name for their own line of baby products. At mid-day tech types will gather round their screens big and small for the latest unveiling from Apple . It is widely believed this will be a smaller version of the iPad.
