Discounted Home Internet Service Offerings COVID-19 Discounted Home Internet Service Offerings: COVID-19 In response to the Coronavirus pandemic, several internet and telecom service providers have pledged to offer free access to the internet or increased data allowances to ensure people can get online during this unprecedented time. The table below highlights some of the latest offerings. Please note: This document is our best interpretation of each company's offerings, which are subject to change. Contact the Internet Service Providers directly for details. Summary You have a few options for free or discounted internet access: 1. Comcast, Cox, and Altice are offering free internet service with no contract, for qualified customers. 2. Personal Mobile Device as wifi hotspot: • If you have a mobile phone and a data plan, your provider may have expanded your ability to use your mobile phone as a “hotspot.” Verify with your mobile provider what is available; a number of major carriers have increased the data allowed for mobile hotspots. • How it works: To turn your mobile phone into a hotspot, you change a setting in your cellular settings that enables hotspot, and you will see wifi name and login information on your phone. Then choose the wifi name in your computer’s wifi list, and type in the password you see on your phone. Contact your mobile carrier or view your carrier’s website for details on how to setup a mobile hotspot. 3. Free public wifi hotspots available in some residential areas from AT&T, Comcast, and Charter (and, perhaps, others). You should use these with Pulse Secure VPN to create a secure connection. • How it works: In the wifi settings on your device, you will be able to see available public wifi. For example, for Comcast it says “xfinitywifi”. You will now be able to connect to that without any limits on time. Each person using Comcast for their internet has a router that acts as an access point or hotspot for public wifi. This gives other people access to the Xfinity wifi if they are near, but they are not using the customer’s wifi; it is Xfinity operated. We will do our best to update this document with offers from other companies. 1 Discounted Home Internet Service Offerings: COVID-19 Service Provider & Offer Eligibility/Restrictions Additional Fees Location/ Info Availability Altice 60 Days Free Internet: 1.

But while consumers can select from an ever-growing Cvariety of legal services, illegal streaming services have emerged in their shadow, leveraging stolen content and off-the-shelf streaming technologies to deliver entertainment at a fraction of the cost of legitimate content providers. The most virulent and fast-growing illegal streaming enterprise is the pirate subscription Internet Protocol Television (PS IPTV) Service. This type of service mimics the practices of legitimate streaming services. It charges by the month or by the year – typically, about $10 - $15 per month. And for that low price, it provides the customer with thousands of channels of linear television from around the world, and often with tens of thousands of titles for video on demand, including movies still showing in theaters and every episode of entire TV series.

  • Internet Freedom in Vladimir Putin's Russia: the Noose Tightens
    Internet freedom in Vladimir Putin’s Russia: The noose tightens By Natalie Duffy January 2015 Key Points The Russian government is currently waging a campaign to gain complete control over the country’s access to, and activity on, the Internet. Putin’s measures particularly threaten grassroots antigovernment efforts and even propose a “kill switch” that would allow the government to shut down the Internet in Russia during government-defined disasters, including large-scale civil protests. Putin’s campaign of oppression, censorship, regulation, and intimidation over online speech threatens the freedom of the Internet around the world. Despite a long history of censoring traditional media, the Russian government under President Vladimir Putin for many years adopted a relatively liberal, hands-off approach to online speech and the Russian Internet. That began to change in early 2012, after online news sources and social media played a central role in efforts to organize protests following the parliamentary elections in December 2011. In this paper, I will detail the steps taken by the Russian government over the past three years to limit free speech online, prohibit the free flow of data, and undermine freedom of expression and information—the foundational values of the Internet. The legislation discussed in this paper allows the government to place offending websites on a blacklist, shut down major anti-Kremlin news sites for erroneous violations, require the storage of user data and the monitoring of anonymous online money transfers, place limitations on 1 bloggers and scan the network for sites containing specific keywords, prohibit the dissemination of material deemed “extremist,” require all user information be stored on data servers within Russian borders, restrict the use of public Wi-Fi, and explore the possibility of a kill-switch mechanism that would allow the Russian government to temporarily shut off the Internet.
