  1. Scott Cleland by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Republican Platform To Include Internet Freedom Plank

    The GOP efforts are currently being modeled on the recent stance taken by the Ron Paul-founded Campaign For Liberty’s Technology Manifesto, as well as more right-of-center libertarian tech policy voices.

    These voices include TechFreedom president Berin Szoka, Mercatus Center senior research fellow Adam Thierer, Associate Director of Technology Studies at the Competitive Enterprise Institute Ryan Radia, and Netcompetition president Scott Cleland.

    Scott Cleland's been paid by Microsoft and telcos to take shots at Google and more recently Google Fiber this year. As for Internet Freedom, it looks like he's more interested in Internet Commerce.

    This site has the letters on the left-hand side.

    The Democrats, The Republicans.

    Sure wish they'd put the names in these news articles, so people had a better idea of who to vote for or against.

  7. Re:Keep Going. by J053 · · Score: 1 · on The Real Issue With Net Neutrality
    OK, I considered the source, so what? He's someone who wants the internet to work like it works now. Is there something you want to add based on other things he's done?

    No, he's someone who wants to change the way the Internet works. The argument that Google and others are getting a free ride is laughable - Google pays for their Internet connection, just like you pay for yours and I pay for mine. The telcos want to charge Google an extra fee to not degrade their traffic to the telco's customers.

    Look at who McCurry really works for: (from the Sun article) "Mike McCurry and Christopher Wolf are co-chairs of Hands Off the Internet, a Washington, D.C.-based coalition of technology, media and nonprofit organizations."

    So, who is "Hands Off the Internet"? Among others:

    • Actiontec (a VOIP equipment provider)
    • The America Channel (telco video programming)
    • Alcatel (telco equipment manufacturer)
    • AT&T
    • BellSouth
    • Cingular
    ... and something called "NetCompetition.org" Who are they?
    • American Cable Association
    • Cellular Telecommunications Association
    • National Cable and Telecommunications Association
    • US Telecom Association
    • AT&T
    • BellSouth
    • Cingular
    • Comcast
    • Qwest
    • Sprint
    • Time Warner Cable
    • Verizon
    • Verizon Wireless
    • WCA International
    See a pattern here?
