News Update: Verizon makes statement on FCC vote on broadband inquiry
The Federal Communications Commission approved a Notice of Inquiry by a 3-2 vote to begin public consideration of possible legal frameworks for commission action on broadband Internet services. The following is a statement by Tom Tauke, Verizon executive vice president for public affairs, policy and communications: “Reclassifying high-speed broadband Internet service as a telecom service is a terrible idea. The negative consequences for online users and the Internet ecosystem would be severe and have ramifications for decades. It is difficult to understand why the FCC continues to consider this option. Rather than attempting to make the new world of broadband fit into the regulatory scheme of the old telephone world, the FCC should acknowledge that this is an issue Congress should address. Nearly 300 members of Congress have signed letters to the FCC, warning against reclassification and expressing support for congressional action. We will continue to work with the Congress, the FCC and other interested parties to resolve these issues in a manner that encourages investment, innovation, jobs and the best possible online experience for users.”

News Update: Telefonica SA Beefs Up Pressure on Portugal Telecom from Bid Refusal (TEF,PT,DB)
05/26/2010 – Europe’s largest telecommunications company, Telefonica SA (NYSE:TEF), stepped up pressure Wednesday on Portugal Telecom (NYSE:PT) through an online presentation on Telefonica SA’s website saying that its bid for Vivo was rejected by Portugal Telecom “without due consideration,” since it was rejected after only four days.
Telefonica SA’s online presentation also criticized board members for failing to give international investors a fair chance to look at its proposal offer for Vivo.
Telefonica SA’s chief financial officer refused to rule out a bid by the company for Portugal Telecom, as well, in today’s Financial Times newspaper.
However, Deutsche Bank AG (NYSE:DB) analysts don’t think such a bid is very likely, since the Portuguese government holds a major share in Portugal Telecom and the government would probably “be uncomfortable ceding control of a national champion” to a foreign firm at such a time.
Shares of Telefonica SA closed yesterday at $56.66, whereas Portugal Telecom closed out the trading day at $9.12.

Just another Hot Coffee lawsuit.
Just because the mapping software tells you to take a specific route, that doesn’t free you from the responsibility to make good choices. At some point she should have told herself that crossing this path was not a good idea and that she should find another route.
