Repealing De-Regulation: How Not to Build a Roadmap Towards an All-IP
World, AT&T
The FCC has circulated an order that would undo more than 12 years of
Clinton-era, deregulatory pricing policy on legacy non-packet
services. The services in question are called "special access"
services – 95% of which are slow 1.5 megabits per second (Mbps) TDM
(think POTS) services. That is not a misprint. We are not talking
about 100 Mbps connections – services we should actually be figuring
out how to get to more

FCC Special Access Discussions Welcomed by State Regulators, NARUC
The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners issued

regulations:

AT&T: We're Doing Just Fine on IPv6 Transition - Company Says 5
Million Homes IPv6 Ready By End of 2012, DSLReports
While companies like Comcast have been aggressive in getting IPv6
deployed, AT&T has been somewhat quiet on the matter. That was until
recently, when the company hinted that their IPv6 plans involve
deploying carrier grad NAT as an IPv6 migration attempt. U-Verse users
were recently told that as AT&T deploys carrier grade NAT, they'll
need to change their subnet and pony up $15 a month for a public IP
address to keep everything working correctly.

Akamai is Supporting IPv6 Delivery for Major Enterprises and

Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM), the leading cloud platform

in World IPv6 Launch beginning tomorrow, June 6th, when major Internet
service providers (ISPs), Web companies, and home networking equipment
manufacturers around the world will come together to permanently
enable IPv6 for their products and services.

IPv6: What could be (but isn't yet), CAIDA
With IPv6 Launch approaching, there is increasing interest in
measuring the readiness of the IPv6 infrastructure. A major concern,
particularly for networks that source or sink content, is the
performance that is achievable over IPv6, and how it compares to the
performance over IPv4. A recent study by Nikkah et al. argues that
data plane performance, as measured by web page download times, is
largely comparable in IPv4 and IPv6, as

Netflix Evolves, Level3
When we entered the CDN space a few years ago a central part of our
"pitch" to the large online media providers was that Level 3 would
help build the best distribution platform for them. Best in the sense
that the performance and cost matched our customers' needs. And we did
this because we recognized that the content being delivered, the
audience size and distribution, the monetization models, the content
library size and popularity distribution all varied. And those
variations mean that in many cases a blend of technologies is required
to optimize performance or cost or both.

Why Netflix's CDN should scare the storage industry, Gigaom
Lest storage vendors thought they were immune to disruption that open
source hardware is having on the server industry, Netflix's new Open
Connect content-delivery network might make them think again. While
Open Connect directly targets commercial CDNs, it's based upon (or at
least inspired by) open source storage designs first released by
Backblaze almost three years ago. Backblaze's design evolving and
expanding its range into the data centers of a Fortune 1000 company is
significant in the same way the evolution of modern man was for
neanderthals.

The Rewards (and Risks) of Cyber War, NAF
The militarization of cyberspace has been under way for more than a

appeared suggesting that the United States is erecting a new digital
wing of its permanent national-security state. Three years ago, for
example, came the birth of the 24th Air Force, at Lackland Air Force
Base, Texas, and Robins Air Force Base, Georgia. The 24th claims to be
"the newest numbered air force," as well as "the first-ever unit
designated for the sole purpose of cyberspace operations." According
to its fact sheet,
