GOP See Hope In Google Move
From this morning's Earlybird:
• "A quartet of House Republicans commended Google on Thursday for threatening to pull out of China earlier this week, saying the company's actions could help spark the passage of legislation that aims to loosen the ties between American technology firms and countries that restrict human rights," the New York Times reports.
• "The White House on Thursday came out forcefully behind Google Inc.'s plan to stop censoring its search engine in China, while Beijing defended its Internet policies, saying foreign Web companies were welcome to do business in the country 'in accordance with the law,'" the Wall Street Journal (subscription) reports.
• "The Federal Communications Commission is considering aggressive moves to stake out its authority to oversee consumer access to the Internet, as a recent court hearing and industry opposition have cast doubt on its power over Web service providers," the Washington Post reports.
• "A big reason why the government is inefficient and ineffective is because Washington has outdated technology, with federal workers having better computers at home than in the office. This startling admission came Thursday from Peter Orszag, who manages the federal bureaucracy for President Barack Obama," The Hill reports.
