Enforcement costs could be recovered with heavy fines and asset confiscation.

America's broadband speed map is back! And it doesn't totally suck!

Serving up IT on a silver platter, also known as ITSM

Re: resourcing

Remedy gives ITSM a bad name. How user unfriendly can a "self service" tool get? Remedy pushes the limit. Imagine using Amazon with a Remedy interface?
