WHAT IS HILLARY CLINTON'S RELATIONSHIP TO TELECOM LOBBYISTS?
[SOURCE: OpenLeft, AUTHOR: Matt Stoller]
[Commentary] In contrast to both Sens John Edwards and Barack Obama, who have well-constructed models for expanding access of an open Internet, Sen Hillary Clinton's plan is simply a rehash of something called Connect Kentucky, a public-private partnership in Kentucky whose purpose is entirely unclear (data on Connect Kentucky is reported by telecom companies). Notorious telecom shill Scott Cleland writes, "Understandably, the glaring exclusion of net neutrality from the Senator's Innovation agenda -- after the radical left's rhetoric claimed net neutrality was essential to "innovation" -- signals to me that the Senator and her campaign have a pretty solid, practical and intuitive understanding of sound broadband policy."
