Ten years ago, the United States stood at the forefront of the Internet revolution. With some of the fastest speeds and lowest prices in the world for high-speed Internet access, the nation was poised to be the global leader in the new knowledge-based economy. Today that global competitive advantage has all but vanished because of a series of government decisions and resulting monopolies that have allowed dozens of countries, including Japan and South Korea, to pass us in both speed and price of broadband. This steady slide backward not only deprives consumers of vital services needed in a competitive employment and business market—it also threatens the economic future of the nation. This important book by leading telecommunications policy expert Susan Crawford explores why Americans are now paying much more but getting much less when it comes to high-speed Internet access. Using the 2011 merger between Comcast and NBC Universal as a lens, Crawford examines how we have created the biggest monopoly since the breakup of Standard Oil a century ago. In the clearest terms, this book explores how telecommunications monopolies have affected the daily lives of consumers and America's global economic standing.
An inside look at a cable titan and his industry John Malone, hailed as one of the great unsung heroes of our age by some and reviled by others as a ruthless robber baron, is revealed as a bit of both in Cable Cowboy. For more than twenty-five years, Malone has dominated the cable television industry, shaping the world of entertainment and communications, first with his cable company TCI and later with Liberty Media. Written with Malone's unprecedented cooperation, the engaging narrative brings this controversial capitalist and businessman to life. Cable Cowboy is at once a penetrating portrait of Malone's complex persona, and a captivating history of the cable TV industry. Told in a lively style with exclusive details, the book shows how an unassuming copper strand started as a backwoods antenna service and became the digital nervous system of the U.S., an evolution that gave U.S. consumers the fastest route to the Internet. Cable Cowboy reveals the forces that propelled this pioneer to such great heights, and captures the immovable conviction and quicksilver mind that have defined John Malone throughout his career.
The most important book on antitrust ever written. It shows how antitrust suits adversely affect the consumer by encouraging a costly form of protection for inefficient and uncompetitive small businesses.
Like Joseph's first book, Real Prophecy Unveiled: Why the Christ Will Not Come Again, And Why the Religious Right is Wrong, this follow-up (or second volume) will give the power of truth to the people. More specifically, it will liberate us from that which has oppressed many of us; that which has repressed and inhibited all of us, and that which has stifled the happiness and prevented the prosperity of most of us. Here, finally, is a voice with real spiritual and religious authority that will make the greedy rich few ashamed, turn the tables on the hypocritical Religious Right (which claims God is on their side), bring low the proud and militant, and enable the humble and meek to inherit the earth. Now, at long last, the truth will set us free and the pen will finally prove mightier than the sword, because the real weapons of the Lord's warfare are not carnal (or lethal), but they are mighty through God for dealing with the forces of hate, greed, hypocrisy, intolerance, and injustice. Now we can rejoice, because the fulfillment of prophecy is at hand! This is the long-awaited messenger who says, "I am your fellow servant, and a brother who has the testimony of Jesus." - Revelations 19:10
