Steven den Beste points out something I missed entirely. With the change of Senate control, Senator Fritz “I whore for Hollywood” Hollings is no longer head of the Senate Commerce Committee. A very likely result is the DoubleSpeak titled “Consumer Broadband and Digital Television Promotion Act” is most likely DOA. In case you don’t know, this is the act which would mandate control of your personal computer by the US government and anyone who can buy it.
Group gloat! Group gloat!
Yeah, but Fritz finally beomes the SENIOR SENATOR from South Carolina at the age of 80, thanks to the retirement of Strom Thurmond, who was 10 bazillion years old.
Want fresh, new ideas? Move to SOUTH CAROLINA, where it’s always 1947.
Sounds like Hollings wants to run the Information Highway in America the way the BBC runs television in England.
