Democratic Candidates Ignore Tech and Communications Security
Obama and Edwards have both laid out impressive innovation agendas involving considerable investment in America's technology sector.
These investments include raising American broadband standards to match the speed of other nations including Japan, and also spreading broadband technology to rural communities across the nation.On the Democratic side of the aisle, these two presidential contenders are leading on technology issues, while the others either remain in 1st gear or are ignoring the importance of these issues.
Technology and Communications should be at the forefront of the policy debate considering the times we live in. The political leaders who are making a bid to lead the free world have lived through Hurricane Katrina and the September 11th Attacks just like all of us. Securing the nations strategic communications infrastructure seems to be imperative when we know all to well the threats of terrorism and natural disasters.
A major attack on the nation’s communications infrastructure could paralyze the government's response to events domestic or international.
