Marketplace Tech for Monday, May 12, 2014
With the FCC is due to vote on a plan to regulate the internet, we hear about the more than 100 major technology companies are calling on the regulator to reconsider a plan that would allow content companies to pay broadband providers for faster Internet speeds to deliver their traffic as long as the deals are "commercially reasonable." Also, hear about AOL rebooting Mr. Moviefone for a multi-platform era. And Janell Burley Hofmann, a parenting blogger and mother of five, talks about her new book, iRules: What Every Tech-Healthy Family Needs to Know about Selfies, Sexting, Gaming, and Growing up.
