The House Commerce Committee will consider today a telecom reform bill drafted by committee Chairman Joe Barton (R-TX) and he said "the odds are 2 to 1 that the president is going to sign a bill this year." “Obviously, it’s going to be modified and amended, but I think it has real power and I believe the president will sign a version very close to this bill sometime this calendar year,†Rep Barton said in a conference call with reporters.
