The effort to oppose antipiracy legislation was an unusual orchestration that began gathering steam online late Tuesday night and escalated early Wednesday morning, eventually whipping the Web into a frenzy. By Wednesday afternoon, representatives and senators were backing away from the bills.

FCC set to approve rules compelling carriers to alert you when you’re about to go over your limit

Politicians do love themselves a sharp and emotive turn of phrase and few are as good as ” bill shock .” That’s the term the FCC uses to sum up all those instances when you’ve had unexpected charges on your monthly wireless bill, whether caused by unknowingly going outside the bounds of your geographical coverage or monthly allowance. Seeing this issue as something it could help alleviate, the Commission set up a Consumer Task Force back in May in an effort to seek out solutions, and now it has returned with perhaps the most obvious one: getting your network operator to shoot out a voice or text message warning you when you’re about to incur costs outside of your normal plan. That’s basically what AT&T already does with iPad owners approaching their monthly data limits, which the federales see as a good practice that should be extended across all carriers

Now let’s visualise how the Digital Economy bill has changed..

A simple programming tool is helpful in understanding what’s changed – but we really need some proper internet-enabled means of viewing bills, as MySociety points out When programmers are working on code and want to see how the old and new versions compare, they use a program called “diff” to do a line-by-line comparison.
