In this episode of the Hill Associates Week in Telecom (tHAWT), Dave and I made sure we would not lose one side of the conversation by having our discussion in the conference room. That wasn't the main reason but it makes for a good opening :-)

So to catch up on last week's news--Chairmain of the FCC Julius Genachowski outlined the "Actions to preserve the free and open Internet." We discussed the last two "principles," how they may impact an ISP, and how they may be challenged. Other topics covered are included in the links below.

Who will enforce the net neutrality rules
Comcast fires back over net neutrality rules
Cisco buys Tandberg
Metered bandwidth on the horizon (here for some already)
Iridium in comeback mode (satellite phones on their way back?)
Comcast buying NBCU
AT&T upset with Google Voice not playing by the rules
The 3G femtocell, what's the point?
