Civil Rights, Privacy And Consumer Organizations Call On The FCC To Adopt Key Goals Of National Broadband Plan
WASHINGTON
A
coalition of national civil rights, privacy and consumer organizations
is calling on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to move
expeditiously to achieve several key goals of the National Broadband
Plan.
In a letter to FCC Commissioners delivered today, the coalition urged the FCC to focus on the importance of achieving four key objectives:
* Expansion of the Universal Service Fund to broadband;
* Assurance of transparency and truth in billing;
* Protection of consumers' privacy online; and
* Internet accessibility for those with disabilities.
In
light of questions raised in the context of net neutrality and the FCC's
authority over broadband, the coalition said the FCC should "adopt a
legally justifiable regulatory framework to enact the broadband plan."

Dear Chairman Genachowski and Members of the Commission:
We the
undersigned write today to support several key goals that the Federal
Communications Commission has laid out as part of its National Broadband
Plan and urge the Commission to take the regulatory actions necessary
to achieve those goals. Specifically, because of the DC Circuit decision
in Comcast vs. FCC, there are now questions regarding Commission's authority to implement these goals.[1]
While legislation might be one route to achieving this objective, we
urge the Commission to move forward expeditiously to adopt a legally
justifiable regulatory framework to enact the broadband plan.

We are
writing this letter now because the importance of moving forward on key
civil rights objectives of the national broadband plan has been lost in
the context of the debate on net neutrality. Regardless of how
organizations view net neutrality, the Commission's authority to achieve
many objectives critical to the civil rights community must be
affirmed. These objectives include expansion of the Universal Service
Fund to broadband, assurance of transparency and truth in billing,
protection of consumers' privacy online, and internet accessibility for
those with disabilities. Because the Comcast decision makes the
Commission's authority to undertake these critical elements of the Plan
subject to clarification, it is incumbent on the Commission to have a
comprehensive framework on which to move forward to implement its stated
goals.

Expanding Universal Service
According to the National Broadband Plan it is critical to:
Expand the Lifeline and Link-Up programs by allowing subsidies provided to low-income Americans to be used for broadband.[2]
In 2010
66% of Americans nationwide have broadband access. Yet a study by the
Pew Internet & American Life Project shows that only 50% of rural
residents, 56% of African Americans and 45% of households earning less
than $30,000 have broadband in the home.[3] The FCC's Broadband study found that 39% of all Americans without broadband have some type of disability.[4] This clearly shows that urgent action is needed to ensure that underserved communities have equal access to broadband.

Expanding the Universal Service Fund (USF) to broadband and in particular, expanding Lifeline and Linkup
programs to broadband is the way to ensure that this is achieved. This
is especially relevant to underserved urban communities who only have
access to Lifeline and Linkup services while others such as rural
communities have access to the more expansive High Cost Program.
The USF was created at a time when communication was largely limited to
voice telephony services. Since then, broadband has become vital for
tasks including applying for a job, applying for small business
contracts and claiming government benefits such as food stamps - in
fact, broadband is the enabler of progress across a range of fields. All
of this helps to level the playing field for minority owned businesses
and assure a diverse and prepared workforce.

The USF
has produced significant results in voice telephony - since 1985, when
the Commission first established Lifeline to help low-income households
afford the monthly cost of telephone service, penetration rates among
low-income households have grown from 80.0% to 90.4%[5].
We strongly urge the Commission to continue this success of the USF by
expanding it to broadband so that underserved communities have the tools
to empower themselves.

Transparency and Truth in Billing
Additionally the Plan seeks to:
Develop disclosure requirements for broadband service providers to
ensure consumers have the pricing and performance information they need
to choose the best broadband offers in the market. Increased
transparency will incent service providers to compete for customers on
the basis ofactual performance.[6]
ensure consumers have the pricing and performance information they need
to choose the best broadband offers in the market. Increased
transparency will incent service providers to compete for customers on
the basis ofactual performance.[6]
Consumers
have a right to a clear and accurate account of the broadband services
they purchase. Currently it is extremely difficult for individuals to
compare the connection speed and price of competing plans because
advertisers bill speed as "up to" instead of disclosing an accurate
average connection speed. As the Commission has recognized, advertised
broadband speeds are dramatically different than those the consumer
actually receives and, in fact, "actual download speeds experienced by
U.S. consumers lag advertised speeds by roughly 50%".[7] This
is a fundamental protection - consumers are quite literally not getting
what they are paying for. The Commission must be able to set standards
for disclosing actual speeds as well as include "simple
clear data that a 'reasonable consumer' can understand" and more
detailed information for "tech-savvy customers, software developers and
entrepreneurs" as called for in the plan.[8] Similarly,
the Commission must be able to move ahead on its "bill shock"
proceeding, which aims to protect consumers from unexpected and
unaffordable charges on their telecommunications bills.

Privacy Protections
Another goal of the broadband plan is to:
"Clarify
the relationship between users and their online profiles to enable
continued innovation and competition in applications and ensure consumer
privacy, including the
obligations of firms collecting personal information to allow consumers
to know what information is being collected, consent to such collection,
correct it if necessary, and control disclosure of such personal
information to third parties."[9]

continued innovation and competition in applications and ensure consumer
privacy, including the
obligations of firms collecting personal information to allow consumers
to know what information is being collected, consent to such collection,
correct it if necessary, and control disclosure of such personal
information to third parties."[9]
Increased
internet use and broadband capacity has allowed private companies to
collect vast amounts of data on users - information that is being used
to create detailed profiles of their movements, interests and activities
online.[10] This
harms consumers by invading their privacy and curbs innovation and
adoption of new technologies by making consumers hesitant to use them.
In order to address consumer fears, the Plan calls on Congress, the
Federal Trade Commission, and the FCC to improve the relationship
between users and the entities that create these online profiles. In
order for the FCC to meet its obligations, it requires the legal
authority to enact privacy protections for broadband service under
Section 222. Without that authority the Commission will be unable to
quell invasive practices like deep packet inspection. If such
routine privacy invasions are permitted to take place, the value of
Internet communications will decrease as a social good, contrary to the
mission of the FCC and our national interest.

Increasing Adoption Rates for People with Disabilities
Finally the Plan recognizes that:
An
important and cross-cutting issue is accessibility for people with
disabilities. Some 39% of all non-adopters have a disability, much
higher than the 24% of overall survey respondents who have a disability.[11]

Broadband
access can be invaluable in helping individuals with disabilities live
independently while staying connected with people around them. It
enables telecommuting, distance learning, cutting edge access to medical
and health applications through telemedicine and telerehabilitation,
and the capacity to fully participate in American life. In fact, it is
quickly becoming as essential as assistive technology. The Plan
acknowledges the barriers faced by these individuals and has called upon
the FCC and the Department of Justice to modernize
accessibility laws, rules and related subsidy programs to ensure
broadband access. As we move into the digital age,
the Commission must ensure it uses all its legal authority - including
the provision in the recently enacted "21st Century
Communications & Video Accessibility Act of 2010" - to ensure that
people with disabilities are not left behind and will also share in the
benefits of broadband access.

As the
National Broadband Plan states, "like electricity a century ago,
broadband is a foundation for economic growth, job creation, global
competitiveness and a better way of life."[12]
It is impossible to meet any of the critical goals described above or
any of the Plan's broader goals without the re-establishment of clear
FCC authority to regulate in these critical areas.

World Bank, IMF Must Prioritize Wealth Tax and Canceling Debt to Tackle Global Inequality
While global institutions claim to want to tackle inequality, said one campaigner, "ordinary people struggle more and more every day to make up for cuts to the public funding of healthcare, education, and transportation."
Apr 15, 2024
With world leaders convening in Washington, D.C. this week for the annual Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, global anti-poverty campaigners said Monday that delegates from the world's largest economies must prioritize taxing the superrich and taking other steps to alleviate rampant inequality in the Global South.
Oxfam International revealed that based on the World Bank's analysis of worldwide inequality and poverty, 64 out of 106 low- and middle-income countries that receive grants and loans from the bank and the IMF have high or increasing rates of income inequality.
Sixty percent of countries that are eligible for grants or low-interest loans from the International Development Association (IDA) have ratings above 0.4 on the Gini coefficient scale—a warning level developed by the United Nations. The scale rates more equal countries closer to 0 and countries with high income and wealth disparities closer to 1, with rating above 0.4 signifying high levels of income inequality.
Kate Donald, head of Oxfam International's Washington, D.C. office, noted that the news comes less than a year after more than 200 worldwide economists successfully pressured the World Bank to set a new goal of reducing the number of countries with high inequality rates.
The agreement was "a landmark move," said Donald. "But if the bank is serious about tackling inequality, the first test will be making it a headline priority for its lending to the world's poorest countries, being discussed now at the Spring Meetings."
According to Oxfam's analysis, half of IDA-eligible countries are overindebted and need roughly 45% of their debt to the banks canceled in order to address surging inequality in their own communities.
The global financial institutions must prove at the Spring Meetings that "tackling inequality is a priority," said Donald.
"Ordinary people struggle more and more every day to make up for cuts to the public funding of healthcare, education, and transportation," she said. "This high stakes hypocrisy has to end."
At Inter Press Service, Jaime Atienza, equitable financing director at the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS, pointed to the example of Zambia, one of 37 countries identified by Oxfam as facing rising levels of inequality.
While still struggling, Atienza wrote, through the G20 Common Framework on Debt, Zambia "secured serious debt relief and restructuring with both government and private creditors, which will help enable vital and urgent investments in health, education, and social protection."
"For too long, Zambia's plans for ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030, and for realizing crucial development needs, have been held back by constraints in investment caused by the debt crisis," wrote Atienza. "The debt relief and restructuring that has been agreed at last gives the country a fighting chance. All those who have facilitated this agreement have saved and transformed lives."
In dozens of countries in the Global South, said Oxfam, "ballooning debt and interest repayments are diverting scarce resources from crucial areas like public education and healthcare and social safety nets."
Both Atienza and Oxfam said delegates from G20 countries, the world's largest economies, must center at the Spring Meetings Brazil's call for a global plan to require wealthy people to pay their fair share in taxes.
"Higher taxes on the income and wealth of richest could raise trillions of dollars to plug IDA funding shortfalls and to fill the huge development and climate funding gaps in low- and middle-income countries," said Oxfam, which noted that the net wealth of billionaires must by taxed more than 8% annually to help reduce inequality in the worst-affected countries.
Wealthy governments must also increase their donations to the IDA, said Donald, which have flatlined in recent years despite growing needs in African countries and throughout the Global South.
"We don't buy the excuse that 'we can't afford it,'" she said. "The money is there; it's just not flowing to where it's needed. We urgently need donor governments to step up their contributions to IDA, and for the G20 to move forward with a global deal to tax the super-rich."
"It's all part of ensuring that rich countries and rich people pay their fair share," she added, "towards tackling inequality and climate breakdown."

20 Years Later, Abu Ghraib Torture Victims Get Their Day in Court
"Meanwhile, the U.S. government STILL hasn't provided compensation or other redress to people tortured by U.S. troops in Iraq," said one observer. "These three men are the lucky few."
Apr 15, 2024
Two decades after they were tortured by U.S. military contractors at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad, three Iraqi victims are finally getting their day in court Monday as a federal court in Virginia takes up a case they brought during the George W. Bush administration.
The case being heard in the U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Al Shimari v. CACI, was first filed in 2008 under the Alien Tort Statute—which allows non-U.S. citizens to sue for human rights abuses committed abroad—by the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) on behalf of three Iraqis. The men suffered torture directed and perpetrated by employees of CACI, a Virginia-based professional services and information technology firm hired in 2003 by the Bush administration as translators and interrogators in Iraq during the illegal U.S.-led invasion and occupation.
"This lawsuit is a critical step towards justice for these three men who will finally have their day in court."
Plaintiffs Suhail Al Shimari, Asa'ad Zuba'e, and Salah Al-Ejaili accuse CACI of conspiring to commit war crimes including torture at Abu Ghraib, where the men suffered broken bones, electric shocks, sexual abuse, extreme temperatures, and death threats at the hands of their U.S. interrogators.
"This lawsuit is a critical step towards justice for these three men who will finally have their day in court. But they are the lucky few," Sarah Sanbar, an Iraq researcher at Human Rights Watch, wrote on Monday. "For the hundreds of other survivors still suffering from past abuses, their chances of justice remain slim."
"The U.S. government should do the right thing: Take responsibility for their abuses, offer an apology, and open an avenue to redress that has been denied them for too many years," Sanbar added.
U.S. military investigators found that employees of CACI and Titan Corporation (now L3 Technologies) tortured Iraqi prisoners and encouraged U.S. troops to do likewise. Dozens of Abu Ghraib detainees died in U.S. custody, some of them as a result of being tortured to death. Abu Ghraib prisoners endured torture ranging from rape and being attacked with dogs to being forced to eat pork and renounce Islam.
A May 2004 report by Maj. Gen. Anthony Taguba concluded that the majority of Abu Ghraib prisoners—the Red Cross said 70-90%— were innocent. In addition to thousands of men and boys, some women and girls were also jailed there as bargaining chips meant to induce wanted insurgents to surrender. Some of them said they were raped or sexually abused by their American captors; lesser-known Abu Ghraib photos show women being forced to expose their private parts. Some female detainees were reportedly murdered by their own relatives in so-called "honor killings" after their release.
Eleven low-ranking U.S. soldiers were convicted and jailed for their roles in the Abu Ghraib torture scandal. Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski, the prison's commanding officer, was demoted. No other high-ranking military officer faced accountability for the abuse. Senior Bush administration officials—who had authorized many of the "enhanced interrogation techniques" used at prisons including Abu Ghraib and Guantánamo Bay—lied about their knowledge of the torture. None of them were ever held accountable.
Bush's successor, former President Barack Obama, promised to investigate—and if warranted, to prosecute—the Bush-era officials responsible for the torture that had become synonymous with the War on Terror. Instead, the Obama administration protected them from prosecution.
In 2013, L3 Technologies agreed to pay $5.28 million to 71 former Abu Ghraib detainees who were subjected to sexual assault and humiliation, rape threats, electrical shocks, mock executions, brutal beatings, and other abuse.
The following year, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower court ruling prohibiting Abu Ghraib torture victims from suing U.S. companies implicated in their abuse. But the court later reversed itself, finding the case had sufficient ties to the United States to be heard in an American court. The suit was later dismissed under the political question doctrine, which prevents courts from ruling on issues determined to be essentially political.
However, in 2016, a 4th Circuit panel ruled that "the political question doctrine does not shield from judicial review intentional acts by a government contractor that were unlawful at the time they were committed," allowing the Iraqis' case to proceed.
"This is a historic trial that we hope will deliver some measure of justice and healing for what President Bush rightly deemed disgraceful conduct that dishonored the United States and its values," CCR senior attorney Katherine Gallagher toldThe Guardian on Monday.
"In many ways, this case may be seen as setting a precedent for holding contractors accountable for human rights violations should they happen in other contexts, too," she added.
CACI—which denies any wrongdoing—has tried to get the case dismissed 20 times. The company still lands millions of dollars worth of U.S. government contracts. In February, Fortuneincluded the firm on its "World's Most Admired Companies" list for the seventh straight year.

Mehdi Hasan Launches Media Platform With Naomi Klein, Greta Thunberg, and More
The journalist says Zeteo will feature "hard-hitting interviews and unsparing analysis" in op-eds, podcasts, and streaming shows.
Apr 15, 2024
After a few weeks of "soft launch" mode, journalist Mehdi Hasan on Monday officially debuted his new media platform, Zeteo, and declared that "this is not a one-man band."
The former MSNBC and Peacock host—whose show was canceled in November and wrapped up in January, after his incisive criticism of Israel's assault on the Gaza Strip—revealed nine of the contributors he has lined up so far, calling them "some of the biggest, boldest, and best names from media, activism, entertainment, and beyond."
They are Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Spencer Ackerman, comedian and podcaster W. Kamau Bell, Palestinian Canadian lawyer Diana Buttu, former CNBC and CNN correspondent John Harwood, foreign policy analyst Rula Jebreal, author Naomi Klein, novelist Viet Thanh Nguyen, actor and activist Cynthia Nixon, and Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg.
"The tough interviews and knowledgeable analysis are all coming back, along with a global cast of contributors," Klein said on social media Monday. "I was honored when Mehdi asked me to be one of them, along with Rula Jebreal and Greta Thunberg and many others yet announced."
"Mehdi and I will be having a regular conversation called 'Unshocked,'" noted Klein, who authored The Shock Doctrine.
Hasan—who has also produced content for Al Jazeera, The Guardian, and The Intercept—has saidZeteo will feature "hard-hitting interviews and unsparing analysis" in a variety of forms, from op-eds and podcasts to streaming shows, beginning with "Mehdi Unfiltered."
"To keep Zeteo's journalism independent and free of advertiser and corporate influence," Hasan explained ahead of the formal launch, "and to allow us to continue investing in the future, we have to rely on our individual paid subscribers."
