title: AT&T CEO criticizes disparate state net neutrality regulations after helping to dismantle unified, national rules

> "We've got a mess coming at us, literally states independently going out and designing their own privacy regulation," [Randall] Stephenson said. "How do you do business in a world where you have 50 different regulations and rules around privacy?"<!-- excerpt -->
|
||||
|
||||
If Stephenson was actually concerned about the impact of a fractured regulatory landscape on his company, he could have left existing net neutrality rules in place. Rather he and other telecoms elected to force through a roughshod repeal of national rules without any consideration of public opinion or possible consequences.
|
||||
|
||||
Any new national legislation backed by AT&T is likely to seriously disadvantage consumers and competitors and support net neutrality in name only.

title: Automating package tracking on iOS
|
||||
tags: ['automation', 'iOS']
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
I try to do as much shopping as I can online and a lot of the shopping I end up doing is through Amazon. This means I end up with quite a few order and shipping confirmation emails in my inbox.<!-- excerpt -->
|
||||
|
||||
In an effort to cut down on manually managing and tracking all of these, I've begun maintaining a rule to auto-forward all emails I receive with tracking information to Junecloud's web service that backs their Deliveries[^1] app.
|
||||
|
||||
In Gmail/Google apps, the rule syntax looks like the following:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
subject:("SHIPPING EMAIL SUBJECT") OR subject:("SHIPPING EMAIL SUBJECT")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Emails matching that rule are then sent to track@junecloud.com and, provided the sending address matches the email associated with your Junecloud account, your packages will be automatically added to the Deliveries app. Now all of my deliveries are automatically tracked where they normally would be, without adding to the clutter in my inbox or my email workload.
|
||||
|
||||
[^1]: Deliveries is available on [iOS](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/deliveries-a-package-tracker/id290986013) and [macOS](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/deliveries-a-package-tracker/id924726344)

**[Wired:](https://www.wired.com/story/new-privacy-bill-could-give-californians-unprecedented-control-over-data)**
|

|
||||
> ... the bill would allow California residents to find out what information businesses and data brokers collect about them, where that information comes from, and how it's shared. It would give people the power to ask for their data to be deleted and to order businesses to stop selling their personal information. It places limits on selling data on users younger than 16 years of age, and prohibits businesses from denying service to users for exercising their rights under the bill.
|
||||
|

I love the sound of this — hopefully it's not derailed like California's net neutrality bill was.<!-- excerpt -->

title: Blocking spam calls from similar numbers on iOS
|
||||
tags: ['security']
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
I've been seeing more incoming spam calls from numbers similar to mine recently. They're annoying in large part because traditional iOS call blockers like [Hiya](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hiya-caller-id-and-block/id986999874?mt=8), [Nomorobo](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nomorobo-robocall-blocking/id1134727588?mt=8) and so forth don't screen them out (these apps apparently due this to err on the side of caution and avoid blocking what they see as legitimate local calls).<!-- excerpt -->
|
||||
|
||||
To mitigate this I've started using a simple app called [Wideprotect](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wideprotect-block-call-sms-mms/id1171024059) that lets you block numbers by providing a set of digits for it to match against (e.g. your area code or your area code plus the first three numbers of the phone number). If you haven't tried the app yet and you're seeing the same issue, I'd _highly_ recommend giving it a try.

**[Wired:](https://www.wired.com/story/california-governor-signs-nations-toughest-net-neutrality-law/)**
|
||||
|
||||
> The nation's largest state just adopted sweeping net neutrality protections, setting up a potential legal showdown with the Federal Communications Commission over the future of the internet. California Governor Jerry Brown Sunday signed a bill banning broadband providers such as AT&T and Comcast from blocking, throttling, or otherwise discriminating against lawful content passing through their networks.

|
||||
|
||||
This is really heartening news, particularly the fact that it addresses anti-competitive practices like zero rating. I appreciate that the state government is taking up the challenge of addressing abuses by ISPs where the federal government has let things slide.

I'm thrilled to see this bill making a comeback, compromises aside. The FCC totally abdicated their responsibility to protect customers from abuse by ISPs and states should move quickly to protect their residents and restore these freedoms.

> The California State Senate yesterday approved a bill to impose net neutrality restrictions on Internet service providers, challenging the Federal Communications Commission attempt to preempt such rules.<!-- excerpt -->
|

|

This is a positive first step and one that will, hopefully, be taken up and passed through the state house before being signed into law. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out with the FCC's language preemption language includes in their original order. Ideally it'll withstand inevitable legal challenges but, should it fail, the state government can always take the same approach other state have and bar ISPs violating net neutrality from receiving state contracts.

> The California bill would replicate the US-wide bans on blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization that were implemented by the FCC in 2015, and it would go beyond the FCC rules with a ban on paid data-cap exemptions. California is one of several states trying to impose state-level net neutrality rules because the FCC's Republican leadership decided to eliminate the federal rules effective June 11.
|
||||
|

As a general rule, if something is good for ISPs, it's bad for their customers.<!-- excerpt -->

|
||||
|
||||
This is an excellent first step towards protecting consumer data as more and more companies shift towards monetizing private consumer information. Hopefully the net neutrality bill previously under consideration is ultimately able to pass as well.

> Granted having disparate state-level protections may in some ways be cumbersome, but that's again something ISPs like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast should have thought a little harder about before killing extremely popular and modest (by international standards) federal protections. Large ISP lobbyists created this mess and, unsurprisingly, they're simply refusing to own it.
|
||||
|
||||
I would've loved to see the FCC net neutrality repeal fail, but seeing proponents of the repeal grapple with the fallout of running roughshod over the public during the repeal process has been pretty satisfying. None of these ISPs appear to realize how unpopular they are and what they're pushing for is. I want net neutrality enshrined in legislation, but any bill ISPs or their lobbyists are involved in writing would preserve net neutrality in name only.

"This has all been about trying to push Democrats to compromise and adopt weak legislation."
|
||||
|
||||
This all reads like a textbook case of regulatory capture. Of course ISPs will abuse their market positions when this is repealed and they should have absolutely no input on net neutrality legislation.
|
||||
|
||||
Fortunately, [states like California are leading the way with their own net neutrality laws](http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-hiltzik-net-neutrality-california-20180420-story.html), but that's only if said laws manage to hold up to inevitable legal challenges of their own.

I sincerely hope more cities push to create their own, neutral networks now that the FCC has abdicated its responsibility to protect consumers from abuses by private, monopolistic ISPs.

It's more like another chapter in a story that has neither a beginning nor an end. Net neutrality isn't something that simply "ends" with the creation or elimination of government guidelines. Net neutrality violations are only a symptom of a lack of competition in broadband and decades of regulatory capture.<!-- excerpt -->
|
||||
|

I'm disappointed, naturally, about the repeal of net neutrality, the fight is far from over. From here it moves to state houses and courts, with public opinion on its side. ISPs and their allies at the FCC overplayed their hand and underestimated public backlash to the repeal and I'd be surprised if they manage to win the fight ahead of them.
