At WH meeting, Yahoo's Mayer warns of Internet Balkanization

http://j.mp/1keK2Mu  (Bloomberg)

   "Yahoo! Inc. Chief Executive Officer Marissa Mayer warned President
    Barack Obama the backlash over U.S. spying threatens to Balkanize the
    Internet, as countries adopt different standards to thwart
    surveillance, according to an industry official.  Mayer was among 15
    technology company executives including Apple Inc. (AAPL) CEO Tim
    Cook, Facebook Inc. Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg and Google
    Inc. Chairman Eric Schmidt who met at the White House today to press
    the president to curb the National Security Agency's surveillance
    programs."
