John Kerry heads Senate Sub-Committee on broadband, net neutrality and Fairness Doctrine

Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller has created a new Communications and Technology Subcommittee under the 2004 Presidential candidate. Kerry stated: “There’s a huge agenda on our plates, from the digital television transition, expanding access to broadband, promoting greater diversity in media ownership, and following through on the 9/11 Commission recommendation to build a nationwide interoperable public safety network. I’m looking forward to diving into these issues and building consensus for good public policy.”

This is FAR more important than the relatively minor details of the stimulus plan.
