Followup - Technology and the National Elections

After writing my latest blog about the effect of the elections on our local politics and the PUD, I came across an interesting article on how the new Congress may deal with some technology issues. There are some big issues that need to be addressed properly, something that the Republicans did not do well.

The issues encompass several different items: Net neutrality, digital copyright, merger approval, data retention, and Internet censorship. The Democrats had different positions on all these than the Republicans. Now that they are in power, lets see if they maintain their stance or will they suddenly have a "change of heart."

I think it is an interesting read for those interested in technology. To read it, go to the CNET website.
