Apple's Patent Case Another Shot At Google

March 3, 2010 | 8:30 AM

From this morning's Earlybird:

• "Apple filed a patent-infringement complaint against Taiwan's HTC Corp. yesterday, seeking to prevent U.S. imports of phones that run Google Inc.'s Android operating system," Bloomberg News reports.

• "Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski's coming National Broadband Plan will propose up to $25 billion in new federal spending for high-speed Internet lines and a wireless network for police and firefighters as part of a broader plan that appears to be a win for wireless companies," the Wall Street Journal reports.

• "U.S. technology companies came under fire on Capitol Hill Tuesday for bowing to pressure by foreign governments to censor or block Internet sites in countries like Iran or China," the Wall Street Journal reports.

• "The House Energy and Commerce Committee could mark up spectrum inventory legislation designed to identify unused and underutilized wireless airwaves as early as next week, House Energy and Commerce Communications Subcommittee Chairman Rick Boucher, D-Va., told the National Association of Broadcasters on Tuesday," CongressDailyAM (subscription) reports.
