You Can Make the House of Representatives Restore Net Neutrality For all intents and purposes, the fate of net neutrality this year sits completely within the hands of a majority of members of the House of Representatives. For one thing, the Senate has already voted to reverse the FCC. For another, 218 members of the House can agree to sign a discharge petition and force a vote to the floor, and nothing could stop it procedurally. This represents the last, best chance for a 2018 end to the FCC’s misguided journey into abandoning consumer protection authority over ISPs such as Comcast and AT&T. But we need you to take the time to contact your elected officials and make your voice heard. Do not underestimate your power to protect the Internet. You’ve done it before when we stopped Congress from passing the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) as it barreled forward towards passage. We’ve even done it on net neutrality just this year. Every time it seemed the ISP lobby had control over...

EFF’s Katitza Rodríguez Named One of the Most Influential Latinos in Tech In well-deserved recognition of her digital rights and privacy work around the globe, EFF International Rights Director Katitza Rodríguez was named by CNET as one of the most influential Latinos in technology this year. We’re delighted to see Katitza celebrated for her many years of advocacy on behalf of technology users in Latin America and internationally. While the technology industry has much work to do to increase diversity and inclusion among its ranks, CNET’s annual list of top Latino tech leaders underlines the importance of having female leaders and leaders of different nationalities and backgrounds in the field.   Katitza has advocated tirelessly in Latin America and elsewhere for users’ rights , greater accountability at tech and telecommunications companies, and an end to government surveillance . She launched a regional project, “Who Defends Your Data,” based on EFF’s “ Who Has Your Ba...

This is one of the most interesting times ever if you are a technologist (a.k.a. geek) or someone who benefits from the use of technology (a.k.a. almost everybody). I am excited to discuss the underlying framework needed to deliver 5G NR in this blog, part 3 of my 5G NR blog series. The first blog, Super-fast IoT enabled 5G is right around the corner, or is it? , focused on how the industry is mobilizing to deliver 5G and the promise of 5G (sub 1ms latency). The next blog, What to Expect When You’re Expecting 5G NR Deployment: A New Network of Technologies Dependent on Micro Data , highlighted how data will need to be cached into local communities very close to the user in order to deliver sub 1ms latency. History has shown that the world of traditional telco infrastructure was like an exclusive country club. Members talk in their own language. They don’t like to mix with the outside world. But times are changing. IT and Telco Converge: When the Worlds Collide The worlds of IT and ...

The importance of electrical systems in modern times simply cannot be stated enough. These electrical systems helped ensure that this technology remains of the highest importance in today’s day-and-age. Without adequate safeguards to help maintain these latest technologies, it’s only a matter of time before the fragile nature of this technology ends up failing society in the long run. Thus, there is a pressing need to provide the population with an optimal electrical system, which can be set in place to ensure a higher level of safety in these industries and homes. By doing this, these electrical systems can actually be utilised to a T, without having to worry about the ramifications that may arise over time. It also helps in promoting a universal sense of safety, since the chance of any electrical malfunctions can be mitigated extensively, if not negated entirely. After all, if the power distribution management system isn’t safeguarded, then the circulation of electricity across a ...

U.S. energy forecasting agency projects that, despite gains in energy efficiency, global population growth and other drivers will cause energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions to keep rising. Many experts are also forecasting that aging power grids and greater occurrences of extreme weather events will continue to put reliability at risk. But the future is not all doom and gloom. Many organizations are now exploring and enacting plans to improve grid resilience, including decentralizing energy generation with microgrids, using smart grid technologies, and incorporating more renewables. At the same time, emerging and converging technologies are giving facility teams the tools they need to take more control of the reliability, efficiency, and safety of their power supply. Power distribution systems have become smarter, giving buildings and manufacturing facilities a holistic approach to optimizing onsite energy production and consumption, responding to risks faster, meeting su...
