Congressmen making fools of themselves re LighSquared vs. GPS http://j.mp/PvGDt3 (ars technica) "Knapp and De La Torre tried to explain the nuances and difficulties of the LightSquared/GPS decision, but were repeatedly cut off by Stearns, who demanded yes-or-no answers to questions the FCC officials said did not have easy answers." - - - It's painful to watch politicians without technical expertise demanding simple yes or no answers to complex technology-related questions, and cutting people off when they can't get the answers wanted. This is a perfect example of why technology policy in the U.S. is in such horrible shape. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren@vortex.com): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info - Data Wisdom Explorers League: http://www.dwel.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://vortex.com/g+lauren / Twitter: http://vortex.com/t-lauren Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
