CenturyLink's gigabit for apartments comes with a nasty catch: exclucivity. http://t.co/t6HBR28SQR ->

Really, Google? Two years for a business product pilot in limited areas? http://t.co/1WIIG8rXqt ->
Now that the stopgap of net neutrality is basically dead, can we move on to the real fix of greater competition? http://t.co/gNKG6WzJFB ->

Legacy TV operators are upset at the shift to OTT video? You don't say! http://t.co/Wt9L5R2EwA ->

Winning strategy: call the people opposing your merger a bunch of low-information nutjobs. http://t.co/Pi58IINrkA ->
Google may want a slice of the cellular market too. http://t.co/kQf186yaUJ ->
The future of online streaming depends on the Aereo decision. http://t.co/gP5M4TgI8o ->
Don't get too excited: this only includes office buildings with larger companies. http://t.co/NElL7QX6sT ->
Remember: Google's offer is extremely time-limited and inflexible. http://t.co/iD8gbG6ORD ->
