Go Daddy Ends support of SOPA

2:29 pm in Technology by kevsco77

Go Daddy is not longer supporting SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act)  that is making its way thru Congress. In a statement CEO Warren Adelman outline why:

“Fighting online piracy is of the utmost importance, which is why Go Daddy has been working to help craft revisions to this legislation – but we can clearly do better,” Warren Adelman, Go Daddy’s newly appointed CEO, said. “It’s very important that all Internet stakeholders work together on this. Getting it right is worth the wait. Go Daddy will support it when and if the Internet community supports it.”

This change may also be a result of the support of users like you. As multiple sites has been setup to boycott Go Daddy support for SOPA. One such site is godaddyboycott.org. Which was setup specifically for user to express their disapproval of Go Daddy support for SOPA.

Introduce by Congresman from Texas Lamar Smith in October 2011. The bill (H.R. 3261) has become what most are calling the Great Fire Wall of the US. The bill is design to allow ISPs and Domain Service Providers to block access to sites that are suspected of piracy.

AT&T — New Unlimited Data Policy

12:17 am in Technology by kevsco77

Have you receive one of these text from AT&T?

“Your data usage is among the top 5 percent of users. Data speeds for the rest of your current bill cycle may be reduced.”

Well, that’s because your unlimited data plan is not so unlimited after all. AT&T has been sending this message to its customers who are grandfathered into its unlimited data plan. As of October 1st, 2011 the company has started throttling the speed of customers the company claim is part of their 5% high bandwidth consumer. What is not currently clear is the amount of data one will need to use before this new policy kicks in.
