Barack’s Technology Blunder

Barack Obama has edited his official website on many issues, including a huge revision on the technology page. Strangely it seems net neutrality is no longer as important as it was a few months ago, and the swaths of detail have been removed and replaced with fairly vague rhetoric. Many technologists were alarmed with the choice of Joe Biden before, and now it appears their fears might have been well founded.

So now that Barack is vague on Net Neutrality what will Google, collectively one of Barack’s top supporters, do now? Google is very pro net neutrality. Google stands to lose lots of money if Internet Service Providers win out and are able to shape Internet traffic, or bill companies that use too much, or get too much traffic.
