The biggest surprise for me on that list is Jared Polis (CO-02). For those who don't know him, he's the dude who was behind ProFlowers.com and BlueMountainArts.com, as well as a flurry of other tech start-ups I can't recall.
I just don't get it. He didn't take PAC money during his campaign (he mostly self-funded), so no overt telcom influence there that I'm aware of. And he's 100% safe for re-election in 2010, so it's not like he needs the money now.
A tech entrepreneur against net neutrality. WTF?
