California Judge Rejects Request to Suspend Assisted Suicide Law
The law, which took effect on June 9, will not be blocked now, but the judge agreed to allow a lawsuit challenging the measure to go forward.The argument rests on the Hipocratic commandment: First, do no harm.

Broadband Law Could Force Rural Residents Off Information Superhighway
A federal court ruling may halt the spread of municipal high-speed internet providers, which often serve households and businesses where commercial cable and telecom firms have been unwilling to go.Vick Family Farms has a different problem. They are operating through the cloud.

Badly regulated near monopolies are fighting for dominance.
Shortly they will provide good service or go out of business.
The open net is an established set of rules proven in court.
