Back to work...
Here's a view of ICT & media policies under the Obama administration -
http://www.whitehouse.gov/agenda/technology
--- Highlights ---
1. supports control of media to protect 'our children'...
2. supports network neutrality on the Internet...
3. wants to reform Universal Service Fund...so he can spread true
broadband all-over the USA...
4. will appoint the first-ever national CTO (Chief Technology Officer)
and CIOs for each department ('Ministry')...
5. Protect the right to privacy...
6. Many more...
We may want to use the policy brief as a lesson for our own plans.
