As they do each year around this time, the Chairmen of the corporations that own the corporate media outlets in America met in a subterranean conference room, one mile beneath the Fox News Headquarters in Manhattan.
We have obtained a draft of the minutes of their most recent meeting. I cannot tell you how, so do not ask. Lives are at stake.

If you're a Time Warner Cable subscriber in the greater NYC area, your life just got a little bit better this morning. TWC has come to an agreement with Cablevision, allowing the former's subscribers to tap in to the city-wide WiFi the latter started rolling out way back in 2008. No, we're not talking unbroken coverage from the Hudson to the East Rivers, but there are thousands of Optimum-branded hotspots all over the boroughs that cover plenty of parks and rail stations across the city. Unfortunately TWC isn't opening this up to all of its subscribers, just NYC-based ones, but if you have the requisite @nyc.rr.com suffix on your e-mail address hit that source link and find yourself a hotspot.

Time Warner Cable plans to test its controversial, new scheme to have users pay by the gigabyte in Rochester, New York, but the area's freshman congressman calls usage caps greedy and plans to introduce legislation to stop it.
New York Democratic Rep. Eric Massa called TWC's proposal to switch its 8.4 million cable broadband customers to metered internet billing an "outrageous plan to tax the American people."
Massa, a longtime blogger at the liberal site DailyKos, says he will be joined by a "legion of activists" and called the fight against usage caps a "national issue of generational consequences." However, Massa's fight will not get far without support from powerful House members,including Virginia Democrat Rick Boucher who now controls a key committee on telecoms and the internet.Time Warner Cable plans to test its controversial, new scheme to have users pay by the... more

As of January 1st, Time Warner Cable subscribers across the country will lose 19 Viacom channels including Nickelodeon, Comedy Central and MTV. After intense negotiations, Time Warner claims that Viacom is asking for unreasonable increase in carriage fees and can still make money through ad. revenue by putting their shows online. Viacom states that TWC can afford these fees, especially when they have such hit shows to offer. So no more Spongebob Squarepants for the kids, no more MTV reality shows for the teens, and no more Daily Show with Jon Stewart and Colbert Report for the 20s+.
Happy new year, TWC subscribers!As of January 1st, Time Warner Cable subscribers across the country will lose 19... more

On New Year's Eve, Time Warner Cable plans to shut down fourteen public access channels in the city of Los Angeles unless California Attorney-General Edmond G. (Gerry) Brown, Jr. acts to prevent it.
Cutting off access to independent programming is an assault on the First Amendment rights of citizens, and if it is allowed to happen will set a dangerous precedent for other cable behemoths nationally.

Three months ago, Guy Distaffen switched Internet providers, lured from his cable company to his phone company by a year of free service on a two-year contract. But soon the company quietly updated its policies to say it would limit his Internet activity each month.
"We felt that we were suckered," said Distaffen, who lives in upstate New York.
The phone company, Frontier Communications Corp., is one of several Internet service providers moving to curb the growth of traffic on their networks, or at least make the subscribers who download the most pay more.
This could have consequences not just for consumers - who would have to learn to watch how much data their Internet use entails - but also for companies that hope to make the Internet a conduit for movies and other content that comes in huge files.
Cable companies have been at the forefront of imposing and talking about usage caps, because their lines are shared between households. Frontier's announcement is noteworthy because it is a phone company - and it is matching a seemingly low ceiling set by a main cable rival: just 5 GB per month, the equivalent of about 3 DVD-quality movies.
"We go through that in a week," Distaffen said. "If they start enforcing the caps, we're going to have to change service." Other subscribers on Broadbandreports.com, where the cap was first reported, echoed his feelings.Three months ago, Guy Distaffen switched Internet providers, lured from his cable... more
