These efforts to hinder significantly or prevent the operator from providing this programming are not only prohibited by 47 U.S.C. 548(b), but are particularly egregious because they are taken against the only terrestrial competitor to Comcast’s cable systems in the areas served by the cable operator. It was only after the Comcast regional sports networks extracted a payment of approximately $2.4 million and a promise to pay even more on an ongoing basis – amounts far in excess of what would have been required by the distribution agreements, was the imminent threat to withhold the services withdrawn.

Internet connectivity in the US is a hot-button issue in 2017, thanks to the new FCC chairman performing an about-face on issues like net neutrality, subsidizing access for the poor, and permitting internet service providers (ISPs) to do what they please with your data. None of it bodes well. This comes as the speeds in our tests remain relatively stagnant. Despite cable companies—the major broadband providers in the US—rolling out more and more of the latest high-end modems to customers to increase speeds, and the advent https://www.pcmag.com/article/353936/the-fastest-isps-of-2017 1/21 9/4/2017 The Fastest ISPs of 2017 | PCMag.com of more and more ber-to-the-home (or to-the-premises) coverage in select areas, it's not having much impact, on average. On the world stage, the US isn't even close to the top 10 countries when it comes to average broadband speed.

In a statement from CEO GSMA Limited John Hoffman, concern for the health and safety of participants was the deciding factor. “Since the first edition of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in 2006,” Hoffman said, “the GSMA has convened the industry, governments, ministers, policymakers, operators and industry leaders across the broader ecosystem. With due regard to the safe and healthy environment in Barcelona and the host country today, the GSMA has cancelled MWC Barcelona 2020 because the global concern regarding the coronavirus outbreak, travel concern and other circumstances, make it impossible for the GSMA to hold the event,” he said.
