Obama Camp Statement on McCain Technology Plan

From the Obama campaign:

“Senator McCain's technology plan doesn't put Americans first—it is a rehash of tax breaks and giveaways to the big corporations and their lobbyists who advise the McCain campaign.  This plan won't do enough for hardworking Americans who are still waiting for competitive and affordable broadband service at their homes and businesses.  It won't do enough to ensure a free and open Internet that guarantees freedom of speech.  It won't do anything to ensure that we use technology to bring transparency to government and free Washington from the grip of lobbyists and special interests.  Senator McCain's plan would continue George Bush's neglect of this critical sector and relegate America's communications infrastructure to second-class status.  That's not acceptable,” said William Kennard, Former Chairman, Federal Communications Commission.
