Susan
Crawford. Captive audience : the telecom industry and monopoly power in
the new gilded age. Yale University Press, 2013. KF2765.C73
2013 Ten
years ago, the United States stood at the forefront of the Internet
revolution. With some of the fastest speeds and lowest prices in the world
for high-speed Internet access, the nation was poised to be the global leader
in the new knowledge-based economy. Today that global competitive advantage
has all but vanished because of a series of government decisions and
resulting monopolies that have allowed dozens of countries to pass us in both
speed and price of broadband. This important book explores why Americans are
now paying much more but getting much less when it comes to high-speed
Internet access. Using the 2011 merger between Comcast and NBC Universal as a
lens, Crawford examines how we have created the biggest monopoly since the
breakup of Standard Oil a century ago. In the clearest terms, this book
explores how telecommunications monopolies have affected the daily lives of
consumers and America's global economic standing. |

Jane Radin. Boilerplate : the fine print, vanishing rights, and the rule
of law. Princeton University Press, 2013. KF808.R25
2013 Boilerplate--the
fine-print terms and conditions that we become subject to when we click
"I agree" online, rent an apartment, enter an employment contract,
sign up for a cellphone carrier, or buy travel tickets--pervades all aspects
of our modern lives. On a daily basis, most of us accept boilerplate
provisions without realizing that should a dispute arise about a purchased
good or service, the nonnegotiable boilerplate terms can deprive us of our
right to jury trial and relieve providers of responsibility for harm.
Boilerplate is the first comprehensive treatment of the problems posed by the
increasing use of these terms, demonstrating how their use has degraded
traditional notions of consent, agreement, and contract, and sacrificed core
rights whose loss threatens the democratic order. |
