The Feds are crackin' down!
I happened to be checking my Hotmail when an intriguing piece caught my eye: How Washington will shape the Internet.
And my first immediate thought was, "*gasp* I gotta blog this!" (Of course, I'll sit down and mull over the implications of new tech policy...not right now, though.) Here's an excerpt to get your mental juices flowing...The most potent force shaping the future of the Internet is neither Mountain View’s Googleplex nor the Microsoft campus in Redmond. It’s rather a small army of Gucci-shod lobbyists on Washington’s K Street and the powerful legislators whose favor they curry.
After years of benign neglect, the Federal government is finally involved in the Internet — big time. And the decisions being made over the next few months will impact not just the future of the Web, but that of mass media and consumer electronics as well. Yet it’s safe to say that far more Americans have heard about flag burning than the laws that may soon reshape cyberspace.
