Makes more than a little sense to me. If you've got capital assets and need to stay in the know, paying progressively more for the Financial Times, even on a minute-by-minute basis, is offset by the ever-increasing returns you're getting on your investments, thanks to your jacked-up subscription.
Using that logic, I'm going to try subscribing to the Po' Folks' Times (much more up my alley), and see if the subscription price continually drops until they're sending me a sack of cash every month.
This wacky "Inspector General" snowflake is clearly not aligned with the Administration's narrative. Play with the team or hit the road, buddy... we've got a nice desk waiting for you in the FOIA section.
Somehow, I'm not feelin' the trust. Trust would happen after you made it unlawful for a cable company to charge me $12/mo extra for a device that simply allows me to consume the seller's service.
"...causing tremendous challenges to legacy broadcasters..."
Ironically, technology advances have lowered the cost of broadcast hardware by orders of magnitude; a $50,000 camera of 15 years ago is easily replaced, at higher quality, with a $5,000 camera today. And idiot-proofed, automated applications mean a small, community-based station can be run with a fraction of the staff... and capital... previously required.
Of course, the same economies that democratize hyperlocal broadcasting are the ones which turn multiple station ownership into a modern-day gold rush; a single regional playout server sends identical, pre-recorded programming to ten markets as cheaply as one.
This is mostly about the (imagined) right to generate massive revenues by shedding those old-fashioned notions of benefiting the community.
Not to pick nits, but it's not really "How Microsoft Convinced Clueless Judges..."; we don't get a peek at a brilliant MS strategy that delivered injustice. Instead, it's about clueless judges, a bogus expert, and plenty of misrepresentation; these are fairly standard fare for an infringement case like this. If we could really get to the how part, maybe there would be lessons as to how to defend/protect against this idiocy. (Although skipping the Microsoft/Dell logos would have been a good start.)
Picturing a "fast lane", quick-service cashier window in Marsha Blackburn's congressional office... lobbyists with cash in hand can leapfrog that pesky "competitive marketplace" nonsense.
I believe the response is this: What is it about the ability to bottle nicely-balanced Pinot Noir that would make you say, "Now that's the kind of construction company I need to build my new garage." Customer confusion, the ultimate arbiter, generally requires both entities to play in the same space.
Need to insert "mobile" every time broadband is mentioned
There's an underlying issue here: in this story, "broadband" means mobile broadband, but in many contexts, it's used as a surrogate for wired broadband... high-speed household connections for multiple users. There's a big difference. Considering wireless broadband pricing schemes, it's no substitute for underserved low-to-moderate income customers.

Another thing you don't understand, you establishment shill!
Cracker-pirate-hacker culture means thumbing your nose at the rules, especially grammar and punctuation! And sometimes spelling. And logic. Maybe hygiene, too.
A nice little "Erratum" item at Wired would go a long way toward clearing that up, and would be a searchable citation for fact checkers on the next publication's CDA 230 story.
Love to send over a few crates of the Jenkins-Boyle-Aoki graphic novels... "Theft: A History of Music" and "Bound by Law? Tales from the Public Domain". Then they'd learn a thing or two.
