Using Technology and Innovation to Address Our Nation's Critical Challenges
The Top Tech Issues of the Presidential Campaign
Last updated: August 7, 2008 - 11:37am
Does Network Neutrality rank with the war in Iraq, health care and the economy as an issue in the presidential election? When the dust settles in November, the next president will have his hands full with the usual issues. But the tech industry will also be watching with great interest to see if a McCain or Obama presidency will tackle key issues like Net neutrality, patent protection and piracy, broadband availability, privacy, and the availability of H1B visas. Many argue that our 44th president cannot afford to ignore these issues, as access to broadband, cutting down on copyright infringement, and opening our doors to talented minds from abroad can only help the economy. Meanwhile, keeping these technological advances available to everyone will ensure that innovation is not stifled, and that one company does not dominate an essential industry.
