Obama boosts net neutrality
Remember when the Wall Street Journal suggested that Barack Obama was backing away from his stated commitment to Net Neutrality?
The best thing about Obama tapping Julius Genachowski as his FCC head is that it seems to confirm that the Journal was wrong. From the Journal's own write-up of the Genachowski pick:
During the campaign, Mr. Genachowski served as the top technology
adviser to Mr. Obama, putting together a detailed technology and
innovation plan that expressed support for open Internet or "net
neutrality" protections; media-ownership rules that encourage more
diversity; and expansion of affordable broadband access across the
country.
Good news.
