And it told us so in a 2005 decision known as Brand X — which Kavanaugh himself cites.
|
|
"They did not work all those years to make millions for some brand-x corporation," she wrote.
|
|
It's important to note here that Brand X isn't some obscure case — it's extremely influential and well-studied.
|
|
Correction: The 2005 Brand X Supreme Court decision was decided 6-3, not 5-4 as I originally stated.
|
|
Brand X (2005) appears to have upheld the classification of cable modem Internet access service as an information service based on straightforward statutory interpretation.
|
|
No reasonable person would think so, but that's Ajit Pai's argument, and he's got the Brand X decision in his back pocket, so he won.
|
|
Not only does the walled garden lay in ruin, but the roles of DNS and caching themselves have changed dramatically since Brand X was decided.
|
|
Kavanaugh argues that Brand X shows that the 1996 Telecommunications Act, from which the FCC derives its authority, is ambiguous in its definition of internet services.
|
|
And because that argument worked in the 2005 Brand X case, the court in 2019 was obligated to say the FCC could use the same argument again.
|
|
The court addresses this argument, saying that DNS and caching were deemed to be information services in Brand X, and it's not going to overturn that precedent.
|
|
But I think Judge Millet has one thing right: Antonin Scalia had this nailed in 2005, and we've been paying for the bad Brand X decision ever since.
|
|
"Although I authored Brand X, 'it is never too late to 'surrende[r] former views to a better considered position,'" Thomas wrote, borrowing a line from a 1950 case.
|
|
Brand X Internet Services (28503), the Supreme Court upheld the FCC's decision that cable modem service providers are information service providers (Title I) and not common carriers (Title II).
|
|
It's in everyone's best interests to stop turning everything into a "X is better than Y" and "Brand X is better than Brand Y." It's not that black and white.
|
|
Brand X is the shadow over the entire net neutrality debate, and it seems clear that the DC Circuit feels bound by that precedent but thinks it ought to be revisited.
|
|
The Supreme Court's decision is known as "Brand X," (think of the name like a corporate "John Doe") and it solidified broadband's status as an information service — but with two major caveats.
|
|
In Brand X it was decided that the FCC could in fact define DSL as telecommunications but cable internet as an information service (again, the piece above has more context for these terms).
|
|
This decision might get appealed, and Brand X might get overturned, but it's well past time for net neutrality to leave the world of endless court challenges and legal trivialities, and just become the law.
|
|
"It is an obvious place for them to look for talent," said Thomaï Serdari, an adjunct associate professor of marketing at N.Y.U. Stern School of Business and founder of the strategic branding company Brand(x)Lux.
|
|
This court term, the justices decided against taking up a case that would have revisited Thomas's 85033 opinion in Brand X. On Monday, he dissented from his colleagues' decision, saying he would have welcomed the opportunity.
|
|
And Judge Patricia Millet wrote an opinion that is listed as a concurrence, since she agrees that the court is bound by the Brand X decision, but every other part of it is a stinging rebuke of the terrible majority opinion.
|
|
Thomas on Monday explained how his views on the power of federal administrative agencies have evolved since he penned the 2005 decision in case known as Brand X, which reinforced a legal doctrine that has increasingly faced criticism from conservatives.
|
|
But given the FCC proposal's straightforward reading of the Communications Act as well as the Supreme Court's reasoning in Brand X, the agency's conclusion that broadband Internet service meets the statutory definition of an "information service" will almost certainly be upheld in court.
|
|
Just earlier this week, for instance, the D.C. Circuit explicitly said that the agency had authority under the so-called Brand X decision in 2005 to adopt a classification of internet service providers as an information service as opposed to the Title II telecommunications service. Sure.
|
|
But the fact is Chevron and Brand X (cases establishing broad deference doctrines) permit executive bureaucracies to swallow huge amounts of core judicial and legislative power and concentrate federal power in a way that seems more than a little difficult to square with the Constitution of the framers' design.
|
|
Now, what you'll hear about this one is a bit technical: that the Supreme Court in 2005 made a major decision known as "Brand X" establishing the precedent that, in case of ambiguity in the law (like how broadband companies should be defined), the courts would defer to any reasonable interpretation made by an expert agency like the FCC.
|
|
Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's brutal education in net neutrality Although the court was bound to allow it, Judge Millett in an extended concurring opinion that she was "deeply concerned that the result is unhinged from the realities of modern broadband service": Brand X [the relevant Supreme Court decision] was decided almost fifteen years ago, during the bygone era of iPods, AOL, and Razr flip phones.

They feel like off-brand X-Men, with Miss Peregrine as a much more fashion-forward Professor X. (That's no coincidence: screenwriter Jane Goldman co-scripted X-Men: First Class and has a story credit on Days Of Future Past, and the way she introduces the kids — running around the house and showing off their abilities one by one — is right out of the First Class playbook.) But the X-Men have goals that define them, and that drive the action of their stories.
|
|
It just does so using a metaphor about, um, weaving sweaters with golden thread: The idea seems to be that ISPs now offer fewer "walled garden" services of the kind consumers mostly care about than they did in the era of the 2002 Cable Modem Order and Brand X, so that basing an "information service" designation on DNS and caching alone is currently as dubious as saying that a few golden threads interwoven in an ordinary sweater turn the sweater into a golden garment… But the Supreme Court has never imposed or even hinted at such a quantitative standard to determine whether inextricably intertwined functionalities can justify an "information service" classification.

Brand X launched in March 2009; the Brand X tabloid ceased publication in June 2011 and the website was shut down the following month. In May 2018, the Times blocked access to its online edition from most of Europe because of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation.

Brand X argued that when the agency argument is clearly in error, Chevron deference ought not apply; substantively, Brand X argued that internet services should be classified as a telecommunications services, because the word telecommunications means communication at a distance, and includes services such as telegraph, telephone, and television, all of which are essentially digital telecommunications services. If Internet were to be considered a telecommunications service, then telephone companies would be required to act as common carriers, with a published price list and other competitive requirements. This would allow rivals like Brand X Internet, AOL and EarthLink to offer faster internet connections.

Symbolic needs are those constituted by communication (e.g., when a person says, "I need Brand X water" because advertisers have persuaded the person to interpret Brand X as better meeting the need for health than tap water). In both cases, human beings create interdependencies with others to fulfill biosocial and symbolic needs. They learn from language tutors the social system's assumptions about what needs are important and how needs should be communicated and satisfied.

Small ISPs like Brand X hoped that common carrier treatment would open up Internet services to wider competition, benefiting the public with lower prices and better services. A petition was made by Brand X and others to review the FCC's order in 2003. The FCC's ruling that cable internet service was not a "cable service" was affirmed, but the ruling that it was strictly an "information service" was vacated by the three judge panel, citing the Circuit's June, 2000 decision in AT&T; v. City of Portland and the case was remanded for further action.

All three reflected on the change of the Internet structure since Brand X was decided and pointing out that today, ISPs are better classified as information services than common carriers. At the time of Brand X, the Supreme Court had relied on the existing of core technologies like caching at the ISP level and the Domain Name Service to justify that ISPs are information services. In this ruling, the judges noted that now, Internet services are defined by information that consumers can access, and as such, ISPs should be able to offer those consumers who want faster access to that information the capabilities to offer tiered service without regulation.

National Cable & Telecommunications Association v. Brand X Internet Services, 545 U.S. 967 (2005), is a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court declared in a 6–3 decision that the administrative law principle of Chevron deference to statutory interpretations by administrative agencies tasked with executing the statute trumped the precedents of the United States Courts of Appeals unless the Court of Appeals had held that the statute was "unambiguous" under the Chevron deference.. The Supreme Court therefore upheld the Federal Communications Commission's determination that a cable Internet provider is an "information service", and not a "telecommunications service" and as such competing internet service providers (ISPs) like Brand X Internet were denied access to the cable and phone wires to provide home users with competing internet service. This case was important in the battle over network neutrality in the United States.

Hyperreality is significant as a paradigm to explain current cultural conditions. Consumerism, because of its reliance on sign exchange value (e.g. brand X shows that one is fashionable, car Y indicates one's wealth), could be seen as a contributing factor in the creation of hyperreality or the hyperreal condition. Hyperreality tricks consciousness into detaching from any real emotional engagement, instead opting for artificial simulation, and endless reproductions of fundamentally empty appearance.

These cases were consolidated into the one led by the Mozilla Corporation. The Appeals Court ruled in favor of the FCC in October 2019, relying on the Supreme Court decision of National Cable & Telecommunications Ass'n v. Brand X Internet Services (2005) that the FCC has such authority to reclassify Internet services, and thus allowed the rollback. However, the Court ruled against the FCC in attempting to block state- and local-level laws that regulated the Internet, enabling states to pass net neutrality legislation.

A typical strategy is to look to peers or significant others for validation of the purchase choice. Customers have always been led by the opinions of friends and family, but nowadays this is corroborated by social media likes, reviews and testimonials. Marketing communications can also be used to remind consumers that they made a wise choice by purchasing Brand X. When consumers make unfavorable comparisons between the chosen option and the options forgone, they may feel post-decision regret or buyer's remorse. Consumers can also feel short-term regret when they avoid making a purchase decision, however this regret can dissipate over time.

The accent here is on concise, jazzy arrangements, with Crowther's restrained guitar soloing recalling some of the best of Allan Holdsworth and Al Di Meola. Imagine Bill Bruford's Earthworks band electrified and you get the sound of Network. Emmett's Miles Davis-like solos are superb, particularly when he is more up-front as on "Obsessive Behaviour". Occasionally the funky bass lines and piano breaks resemble Return to Forever, and Clarke's big drum sound vividly recalls Bill Bruford and Phil Collins-era Brand X. The sound quality is good throughout, with production values ideal for an analog recording like this.

Brand X Internet Services (2005), determined that this deference is only allowable when agencies make these regulations with "good reasons for the new policy"; the 2011 DOL policy change, the Court determined, was a complete change from a 1978 DOL policy, and the DOL did not provide adequete rationale for its change. As such, the Court ruled that the Ninth could not consider the 2011 DOL ruling as part of its decision. Kennedy's decision otherwise did not rule on the other merits of the case. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote a dissenting opinion, joined by Justice Alito.

Telephone companies such as AT&T; also require that customers of third party ISPs purchase AT&T-branded; landline services in order to provide DSL. Cable companies, on the other hand, offered no access at all to their data lines. These policies would be illegal if Internet were ruled a Telecommunications Service, and telephone companies were forced to act as Common Carriers. Predatory pricing and unfair service conditions, such as the above-mentioned bundling requirement, led Brand X and a number of other Internet Service Providers to dispute the FCC ruling defining Internet not to be a Telecommunications Service.

This presented a huge issue for branded products: consumers of all types, including the highly educated and upscale, were not necessarily concerned about the price of the product, but rather the perceived value. If a product is produced by Brand X, but there is a generic available, the consumer will tend toward the generic since the perceived quality is similar, but the price is generally lower. This means consumers were no longer responding to, or willing to pay for, the extensive branding and advertising campaigns contained in the price of the branded product. Brands with marginal or weak sales were at the highest risk of losing customers.

The series title was a play on an advertising convention of the time, in which a competitor's product was not referred to by name, but simply as "Brand X"; DC was sometimes playfully called "Brand Echh" in Marvel "Bullpen Bulletins" and letters pages, hence this comic was "Not Brand Echh". The copyrighted title of the comic in its postal indicia was Brand Echh for its first four issues, and afterward Not Brand Echh, the trademarked cover title from the start.

She appeared in Klute with Jane Fonda and Lady Liberty with Sophia Loren. In 1971, she went to Vienna to make two films with director Werner Schroeter:The Death of Maria Malibran, and another film that was never released.

Their first gig was reputedly a backyard performance for some graduating Caltech students, and was characterized by multiple costume changes and drum solos to flesh out their 15-minute set. At this point, Celebrity Skin did not have a regular drummer, and instead went through a number of drummers (supposedly 27), including, the "Little Matador" and Cujo. Jazz fusion guitarist John Goodsall of the progressive rock bands Atomic Rooster and Brand X was also briefly a member.

Collins came up with the basic rhythmic structure, inspired by his work in side project Brand X and "Promise of a Fisherman" by Santana, wanting to take the looser playing style into Genesis. Banks and Hackett wrote the main themes, including reprises of "Dance on a Volcano" and "Squonk", and Collins sang a few lines from "Supper's Ready" (on the 1972 album Foxtrot) on the fade-out, as a tribute to Gabriel. The opening piece was recorded for a completely different song, "It's Yourself", which was later released as a B-side. The track became a live favourite, and continued to be played through to the 2007 Turn It On Again tour.

In December 1978, Genesis went on hiatus while Collins went to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, to focus on his family; his marriage had become strained after his extensive touring. Having failed to save the relationship, Collins returned to the UK in April 1979, by which time Banks and Rutherford were recording their solo albums. With time to spare before recording a new Genesis album, Collins played on the Brand X album Product and its accompanying tour, played on John Martyn's album Grace and Danger, and started writing his first solo album, Face Value, at his home in Shalford, Surrey. After Banks and Rutherford rejoined Collins, work began on the Genesis album Duke, released in 1980.

These recommendations were approved by the Operational Sub-Group chaired by John Poindexter and orders were sent to the State and Defense Departments. U.S. Army Major General Carl Stiner put two platoons, drawn from the Navy's counter-terrorism unit, SEAL Team Six, Army commandos from Delta Force and Air Force Combat Controllers from BRAND X en route to Europe to be operating with NATO ally permission from a British base at Akrotiri, Cyprus. The U.S. State Department asked countries along the Mediterranean to deny Achille Lauro access to their ports in order to keep it in International Waters. They also sought to keep the press away from the ship to prevent giving the terrorists a worldwide stage.

The Both Sides of the World Tour was a worldwide concert tour by English singer-songwriter and drummer Phil Collins, which took place between April 1994 and May 1995, in support of his 1993 album, Both Sides. Despite the lukewarm reception the album received upon its release, the tour was a huge success, regularly selling out venues across the world. The tour lasted 13 months, which was the longest time Phil Collins has performed on the road, solo, as part of Genesis or his involvement with Brand X and Flaming Youth. It was also the first time Collins played a major tour singing without Chester Thompson on drums since Genesis's A Trick of the Tail Tour in 1976.

The strip regularly involved mishaps involving his boots, which were periodically lost, stolen or damaged, resulting in Billy underperforming and thus being dropped from the school team. In several instances, he turned out for opposing sides such as "Merlin" or "Brand X", scoring against the school first team, thus embarrassing the sports teacher, Mr Harris. During the strip's run in Eagle, the football element of the story was downplayed somewhat, focusing instead on Billy's exploits whilst on the run from a council home where he had been placed when his grandmother (with whom he lived) had been taken ill. There would often be no football action for several weeks, which was odd given that the central premise of the strip was football-based.

On the live album The Bruford Tapes (a show originally broadcast for radio station WLIR), guitarist John Clark (formerly of Quasar) replaced Holdsworth. Clark remained on guitar and Jeff Berlin sang vocals for the first time on the third album, Gradually Going Tornado, which also featured Berlin's first composition for the group- "Joe Frazier". Bruford were active at the end of a vibrant decade for fusion music, with groups like Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever and Brand X getting much attention (especially from musicians). Though Bruford followed in the tradition of these bands, and was very well received critically and by fans, it reportedly lost quite a bit of money and was dropped by EG Records in 1980, putting a premature end to its existence.

The DC Appeals Court issued its decision on October 1, 2019. In the per curiam decision, the Court voted to uphold the FCC's rollback of the 2015 Open Internet Order, ruling that the agency had been affirmed to have that authority through the prior Brand X case and was not at liberty to challenge the Supreme Court ruling there. The decision affirmed several of the points made by the FCC in relation to the potential harm to ISPs by imposing net neutrality, and agreeing that ISPs are more common to information services than common carriers. However, on the matter of limiting state and local-level enforcement of net neutrality, the Court ruled that the FCC had overstepped its bounds, and reversed that part of the rule.

The first episode gained largely negative reviews, with Mary McNamara of the Los Angeles Times commenting that, "If nothing else, Brand has overestimated his own ability to riff on the news, or rather the audience's interest in his riff. More experienced "talk show" stars, from Leno to Colbert, approach the half-hour with a bit more humility; they do not try to sustain it with monologue alone." Tim Goodman of The Hollywood Reporter was more positive, although he found that the half-hour-long time slot was "constraining". According to Goodman, Brand X is "ostensibly an exercise in Brand riffing on the news" and is considered to be an attempt by Brand to bring his stand up comedy roots to a U.S. audience.

Jones's playing style incorporates an unconventional three-finger right hand technique to pluck the strings (like Les Claypool), in contrast to most bassists using two fingers. He also employs sliding harmonics. Over the years, he has employed various other extended techniques, such as deliberately pulling the strings over the edges of the fingerboard (creating a distinctive buzzing rattle) and thumb-on-the-fingerboard left hand technique to achieve wider-interval double stops than are normally possible. His first recordings with Brand X employed a fretless Fender Precision bass, though he later switched to what became his trademark Wal basses, produced by Electric Wood Limited in the UK. More recently, Jones switched to custom-built Ibanez basses, citing a desire to simply try something different after many successful years using the Wal.

Brand X co-founder Percy Jones In December 1974, Genesis drummer Phil Collins was invited to rehearsals with a developing five-piece instrumental jazz fusion group at Island Studios in London, which included Percy Jones on bass. They had secured a recording deal with Island Records and prepared tracks for a studio album which originally included vocals. However, the vocals were negatively received from Island management, leaving the group to write new material, at the suggestion of Island A&R; man Richard Williams. After Collins left for Genesis commitments, the line-up changed from Jones, John Goodsall on guitar, Robin Lumley on keyboards and vocals, Pete Bonas on guitar, and John Dillon on drums and percussion, to a departing Bonas and Dillon, the latter replaced by Phil Spinelli for a short time before a newly available Collins took his place in April 1975.

Rick Latimer (Jim Belushi) is a high-school teacher with a drinking problem. Spotting his ex-wife Kimberly (Sharon Thomas Cain) in a bar one night, Rick gets into a fight with the man she is with, culminating in his beating the hapless man's car with a baseball bat. The board of education finds that Rick's behavior is reflecting poorly on the school district's image. They unanimously decide to transfer him to another school, in another district: Brandel High, a crime-ridden and gang- dominated institution, where he is made the new principal. Initially, Rick is under the impression that this move is a promotion for him — but he soon comes to realize that it is actually a punishment, because he is viewed as being as lost, incorrigible, & hopeless as the students of “Brand X” (the nickname that everyone derisively uses to refer to the school).
