Those who watched the State of the Union address last week heard President Obama talk about a number of goals for the next few years.

While this speech was markedly different from State of the Union speeches in the past, I feel that Obama’s focus on the Internet and related technologies was an important point.

I read something pretty disturbing the other day.

Now, this happens from time to time when networks and cable service providers fail to negotiate pricing for content.

Basically, what happens is an elementary school equivalent fight where only the consumer loses.
