President-elect Obama has formed the Technology, Innovation and Government Reform policy working group to "develop.... proposals and plans from the Obama Campaign for action during the Obama-Biden Administration."
So, what kind of people are being put on this important policy formation committee? Among others, Blair Levin, a telecom investment analyst; Julius Genachowski, former chief counsel to FCC Chairman Reed Hundt; and Sonal Shah, head of Google.org, which is Google's "global philanthropy" front.
That's right: a telecom veteran, an apologist for a federal agency that has let Right-wing corporatists consolidate control of the American media, and a bigwig shill for an emerging global monopolist.
Yes, indeed. These are just the kinds of people we want advising the government on reform and government implementation of technology.
Someone please drown out my laughter by chanting something about Obama and that Hope-'n-Change stuff.
Meanwhile, even the main$tream is noticing something funny. The LA Pravda tends to take these posts down after a few weeks, so I'll link to the Cryptogon piece that led me to the original and reproduces it.
