Senators Urge Clinton To Support Internet Freedom Groups
From this morning's Earlybird:
• "Five United States senators are publicly urging Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to move faster to support organizations that are helping people in countries like Iran and China circumvent restrictions on Internet use," the New York Times reports.
• "China's dispute with Internet giant Google, which is threatening to pull out of the country over concerns about censorship and security, should not be linked to bilateral ties with the United States, a top Chinese official" said today, AP reports.
• "The U.S. plans to make unrestricted access to the Internet a top foreign-policy priority," Clinton "plans to announce" today, the Wall Street Journal reports. "The announcement, which has been scheduled for weeks, comes in the wake of accusations last week that Chinese hackers penetrated Google Inc.'s computer networks."
• The Federal Communications Commission on Wednesday "ordered cable companies to share high-definition sports programming with competitors, closing what it calls a 'loophole' in the law that allows providers like Comcast to have exclusive rights to certain sports events," The Hill reports.
