		<description><![CDATA[The EU is apparently thinking of adopting common and highly restrictive privacy standards which would make use of information by firms much more difficult and would require, for example, that data be retained only as long as necessary. This is touted as pro-consumer legislation. However, the effects would be profoundly anti-consumer. For one thing, ads [...]]]></description>

From Anthony Wiener&#8217;s wiener to the FCC’s brave stand on Americans’ shameful inability to turn down the damn volume by themselves, 2011 has been a big year for tech and communications policy. But how has one of the Washington tech crowd’s most important products—Internet hype—fared this year?  In this post, we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By now everyone is probably aware of the “tracking” of certain cellphones (Sprint, iPhone, T-Mobile, AT&#38;T perhaps others) by a company called Carrier IQ.  There are lots of discussions available; a good summary is on one of my favorite websites, Lifehacker;  also here from CNET. Apparently the program gathers lots of anonymous data mainly for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How did the proposed AT&#38;T and T-Mobile merger, which many viewed as so certain when announced, end up on life support? Is it because of the decision by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to challenge the merger in court? Or maybe because of skeptics’ claims regarding the likelihood of the merger “creating jobs?”
Those factors certainly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Politico&#8217;s Morning Tech reported Thursday that the release of the text of the already-approved USF order would be delayed probably until next week.  The delay of yet another adopted FCC order in being released to the public makes legislation recently introduced all the more appropriate. 
Wednesday, Rep. Walden and Sen. Heller released legislation aimed at improving [...]]]></description>
