...public, but it’s a headache for Internet providers. Because most broadband services offer their customers unlimited bandwidth, there is no incentive for users to shy away from file-sharing, Skyping, and other bandwidth-hogging behavior. To continue offering unlimited access at the same speed, ISPs must find ways to either expand their capacity or discourage high bandwidth use. One of the solutions has been to decrease the download speeds of customers trying to use high-bandwith websites. Last year, the FCC chastised Comcast for deliberately slowing down BitTorrent, a file-sharing application, without telling its customers...
...recognize that ISPs must find ways to ration their limited bandwidth effectively; however, this is still possible without picking the Internet’s winners and losers. Cell-phone providers charge talkative people more money, but they don’t charge based on who they’re talking to. Similarly, ISPs could charge users for the amount of bandwidth they consume, as long as they treat all Internet use equally. When ISPs start deciding which sites reach the masses and which don’t—no matter the criteria—they distort the marketplace...

Without a standardized means to require generic production of certain technologies, Harvard effectively endorses the needless death and suffering of millions of people in the developing world. Instead, when it licenses a compound to a biotech or pharmaceutical company, the university should mandate that the drug created from that compound be allowed to be produced generically in developing countries, a move that would inherently lower the drug’s price...
...same, there must be quite a few of those people, because even in a sluggish economy, the new stadium is close to selling out. By mid-September, the Cowboys were reporting that 95% of their club and reserve seats have been sold to season-ticket holders. That's all the more impressive when you remember that the Cowboys, who ruled the NFL in the early '90s, barely rule Texas these days. Between 1972 and 1996 they won five Super Bowls, three of them in the years after Jones bought the team in 1989 and started fiddling energetically with the coaching...
...billion is on the way through pledges made by the Friends of Democratic Pakistan, a consortium of allies, which will meet in New York next week with Obama, President Asif Ali Zardari and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown in attendance. In terms of metrics, achieving global consensus that Pakistan must be stabilized is an easy goal to reach. Making something of the consensus, however, requires more cash and development thrown in the right direction...
