In case you weren't able to attend last Friday's Free State Foundation
event, you missed AT&T's Jim Cicconi talk about what the FCC needs to
focus on now that we've moved on (right?!) from the "exhaustive and
exhausting" net neutrality debate that took up the majority of the
Commission's time and energy for the past two years.

What To Expect From The National Broadband Map., PK
Hey everyone, remember the National Broadband Map? As part of the
Broadband Stimulus in the American Recover and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA), Congress let the National Telecommunications Information
Administration (NTIA) use a chunk of money to fund a national
broadband map that they had ordered NTIA to create in 2008 as part of
the Broadband Data Improvement Act (BDIA). Congress ordered NTIA to

Here We Go Again - FCC and the Proverbial Football, IP Convergence
In what is becoming a biennial ritual, the FCC is once again taking up
the issue of inter-carrier compensation. On Tuesday, the FCC adopted
a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ("NPRM", see press release here and
NPRM here ) that will ostensibly reform the antiquated, dysfunctional,
byzantine system of payments that exist between carriers for the
exchange of traffic. This time, the FCC is SERIOUS. You can tell
because

Net Neutrality Update: Coming soon - OMB Review!, CommLawBlog
The Commission's Open Internet (a/k/a Net Neutrality) initiative has
taken a tangible step forward with the announcement that the FCC is
getting ready to ship two "information collection" aspects of the
rules over to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for its
review. But don't hold your breath – it'll take at least a couple of
months to get there.

Report: Egypt Turned Off Net With a Switch, Not Phone Calls, Wired
The Egyptian government shut down most of its country's internet not
by phoning ISPs one at a time, but by simply throwing a switch in a
crucial data center in Cairo.

Turns Out Egypt Did Have An Internet Kill Switch, Techdirt
After Egypt shut off internet access a few weeks back, most of the
analysis of how it was done suggested in basically involved calling
all of the country's ISPs and ordering them to shut down access. Yet,
a new report claims it really was more of a "kill switch" scenario, in
that the majority of the shut-off came from flipping a single switch
in the Ramses exchange -- a key data center in Cairo. That didn't stop
everything, so the rest was accomplished with a few phone calls -- but
it was that switch flip that did most of the work.
