Except that these municipalities probably passed laws against municipal broadband at the lobbying of incumbents, leaving holding Verizon responsible for living up to its broken promises their only option.
If the guy's purchasing the stock he's shortingw that's insider trading. The detestability of that act is subjective, agreed, but it's still illegal wherever it occurs.
Big pharma: "You know, guys, this Kyle Bass is a big problem, so here's how we deal with him. Instead of getting the scumbag investigated for potential insider trading, we'll attempt to destroy one of the few useful things left in modern patent law. That'll show 'em."
No, what makes it hard for independent companies to compete is the fact that they just don't have the same market presence as the big guys. And the moment they do have anything approaching the same market presence? Bam! Oligopoly.
In reality, the end result has been an endless flood of charming anecdotes like this one, worth remembering the next time an industry lobbyist is busy arguing that U.S. consumers are simply awash in robust market competition. There's actually loads of competition. If you call a bunch of duopolies and triopolies competition, that is.
[I]f you are a restaurant aka (sic) in an industry that has nothing to do with the original product, then from this case it seems to be safe to keep going. I already said that. Sheogorath ( profile), Aug 13th, 2015 @ 4:47pm

But the company hasn't given up, as shown by how it got eBay to remove a listing for an exercise bike for using the term "spin." Um, I think you just used the generic term for this product.
Read the final sentence of the article, dipwad. And did the fact that Paramount are opposing the chippy's trademark registration in addition to bitching about the font, even though the movie studio has no fast food restaurants in New Zealand and it's a different field of trade pass you by?
My local chippy had best watch out. There's a definite case for disparagement of the name 'Goodfellas' since the chips (steak fries) at Codfellas are a bunch of crap.
“As you travel about the city of New York, please utilize your smartphones to photograph [people] lying in our streets, aggressive panhandlers, people urinating in public or engaging in open-air drug activity, and quality-of-life offenses of every type.” People were already doing that, then they got taken to court for interfering with those cops as they carried out their duties. ;)
