Also, in a race where everyone is claiming there are no substanitive differences between Obama and Hillary this issue is a very definitive difference. I also think that Clinton's telecom plans could be used as proof of her extremely suspect lobbyist relations.
Obama's telecom policies not only support net neutrality but do progressive things like
- Creates a Chief Technology Officer position to oversee implementation of more efficient technology
- Create web tools to give citizens better access to information about their government and increase governmental transparency
- Allowing the public to review and comment on the White House website for five days before signing any non-emergency legislation
- Requiring Cabinet officials to have periodic national online town hall meetings to answer questions and discuss issues before their agencies
This is a remarkably progressive policy and contrasts remarkably to Hillary's and I'm surprised this isn't getting more media attention (or at least that Barack isn't bringing it up more).
