		<description><![CDATA[On Monday, Tom Lenard filed comments with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) regarding the proposed multistakeholder (MSH) process for developing a code of conduct.
Among the 80 comments filed with NTIA, many referenced the need to ensure both firms and Internet users were represented in the process.  In his comments, Tom identified one way [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, the Administration released its long-awaited privacy report.  The new privacy framework includes a Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights and a Multistakeholder (MSH) process to develop “enforceable codes of conduct” that put those rights into practice.
The inclusion of this &#8220;Bill of Rights&#8221; raises some serious concerns. In adopting the language of “rights” the Administration [...]]]></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?”
