Chuck DarwinLast week, the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the FCC, rejecting its authority to classify broadband as a Title II “telecommunications service.” In doing so, the court removed net neutrality protections for all Americans and  took away the FCC’s ability to meaningfully regulate internet service providers.This ruling fundamentally gets wrong the reality of internet service we all live with every day. Nearly 80% of Americans view broadband access to be as important as water and electricity. It is no longer an extra, non-necessary “information service,” as it was seen 40 years ago, but it is a vital medium of communication in everyday life. Business, health services, education, entertainment, our social lives, and more have increasingly moved online. By ruling that broadband “information service” and not a “telecommunications service” this court is saying that the ISPs that control your broadband access will continue to face little to no oversight for their actions. This is intolerable. Net neutrality is the principle that ISPs treat all data that travels over their network equally, without improper discrimination in favor of particular apps, sites, or services. At its core, net neutrality is a principle of equity and protector of innovation —that, at least online, large monopolistic ISPs don’t get to determine winners and losers. Net neutrality ensures that users determine their online experience, not ISPs. As such, it is fundamental to user choice, access to information, and free expression online.By removing protections against actions like <a href="https://c.im/tags/blocking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blocking</a>, <a href="https://c.im/tags/throttling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#throttling</a>, and <a href="https://c.im/tags/paid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#paid</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/prioritization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#prioritization</a>, the court gives those willing and able to pay ISPs an advantage over those who are not. It privileges large legacy corporations that have partnerships with the big ISPs, and it means that newer, smaller, or niche services will have trouble competing, even if they offer a superior service. It means that ISPs can throttle your service –or that of, say, a fire department fighting the largest wildfire in state history. They can block a service they don’t like. In addition to charging you for access to the internet, they can charge services and websites for access to you, -- artificially driving up costs. And where most Americans have little choice in home broadband providers, i t means these ISPs will be able to exercise their <a href="https://c.im/tags/monopoly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#monopoly</a> power not just on the price you pay for access, but how you access and engage with information as well. Moving forward, now more than ever it becomes important for individual states to pass their own net neutrality laws, or defend the ones they have on the books. <a href="https://c.im/tags/California" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#California</a> passed a gold standard net neutrality law in 2018 that has survivedjudicial scrutiny. It is up to us to ensure it remains in place. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Congress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Congress</a> can also end this endless whiplash of reclassification and decide, once and for all, by passing a law classifying broadband internet services firmly under Title II. Such proposals have been introduced before; they ought to be introduced again. <a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/01/sixth-circuit-rules-against-net-neutrality-eff-will-continue-fight" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/01/sixth-circuit-rules-against-net-neutrality-eff-will-continue-fight</a>

KevinThe Challenge of Finding True Agile ExpertsA long time ago, when I was a junior Scrum Master, my Chief Agile Coach posed a thought-provoking question: “If you had a limited budget, would you hire a Scrum Master or a Software Engineer?”At the time, I replied, “A Software Engineer, because they produce measurable output.”Now, years later, I reflect on that conversation with a deeper understanding. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside exceptional Agile Coaches, Scrum Masters, and Product Owners. Yet, let’s be honest:The majority of Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches lack a clear understanding of the how and why behind their roles. Many find themselves stuck in these positions, not out of passion or conviction, but because they see no alternatives. Instead of pursuing what they believe is right, they focus on maintaining their roles, often to the detriment of their teams and organizations.The market is saturated with so-called Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches. For every open position, there are often over 200 applicants. Since these roles are unregulated, anyone can claim the title. Unfortunately, this influx of underqualified individuals has created challenges for the Agile community.The Problem with Unqualified Agile PractitionersAgile practitioners are perceived as experts, wielding authority. However, when they lack the necessary experience or knowledge, they themselves become the biggest impediments. This issue is compounded when they fail to listen to those they aim to serve, addressing superficial concerns rather than solving real problems. Instead of driving transformation, they retreat into an “Agile kindergarten,” disconnected from reality.Moreover, the oversupply of candidates drives salaries down, making these roles less attractive to true experts. As a result, the market loses talented professionals who could excel in these positions, creating a vicious cycle.What Makes a Great Agile Expert?A true Agile expert must navigate a complex and diverse set of responsibilities, including but not limited to:<ol><li>Team and Dependency Mapping Utilizing frameworks like Team Topologies to visualize and optimize team structures.</li><li>Implementing the Right Workflows Choosing and establishing methodologies such as Scrum or Kanban based on team needs.</li><li>Scaling Agile Adopting frameworks like Nexus, Spotify, Scrum@Scale, or SAFe to scale Agile practices effectively.</li><li>Ensuring Transparency Leveraging tools such as Azure DevOps, Jira, and Confluence to provide visibility into workflows.</li><li>Metrics and Retrospectives Establishing metrics and cascading retrospectives to identify and address impediments.</li><li>Teaching Best Practices Guiding teams on concepts like Definition of Done (DoD), Definition of Ready (DoR), OKRs, and Acceptance Criteria (AC).</li><li>Driving DevOps Adoption Helping developers embrace DevOps practices, if necessary.</li><li>Facilitating Vision and Strategy Supporting the creation of visions, missions, and strategies at both the organizational and team levels.</li><li>Effort and Value Estimation Introducing estimation techniques like T-shirt sizes or story points, and prioritization methods like WSJF or Cost of Delay.</li><li>Conflict Resolution and Coaching Combining skills in mediation and coaching to empower individuals, resolve conflicts, and harmonize Agile methods with existing structures.</li></ol>This list only scratches the surface of what a skilled Agile practitioner must handle. Organizations seeking to hire an Agile Coach should ask candidates to explain these methodologies. Doing so can reveal whether they possess the expertise needed for the role.Reflecting on the Industry TodayThere was a time when companies hired almost anyone with a self-declared title of Scrum Master or Agile Coach. That window gave me the chance to enter this profession. However, times have changed, and so has my perspective.If my Chief Agile Coach asked me the same question today, I’d answer differently: “I would hire a qualified Scrum Master—someone with both experience and a strong theoretical foundation. This is a critical role, and you can’t entrust it to just anyone with a certification.”Agility works. It offers practical solutions to structural challenges that companies face. While traditional waterfall project management isn’t a viable alternative, the challenge lies in finding the right people to implement Agile effectively. Companies must embrace agility to adapt and compete, but doing so successfully requires truly qualified Agile Coaches and Scrum Masters.<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag
