Obama's Online Opportunities

[Commentary] There is no shortage of suggestions to the incoming Obama administration about what to do about communications policy in the United States. Online Americans might have one more suggestion: Make sure the Internet remains a place where users define what it means to be digitally connected. The willingness of American consumers to try new things is a source of our innovative culture. In a broadband and increasingly wireless Internet, it is not just about trying new things, but, for many users, also reworking and using them in new ways. Maintaining such an online environment will give users the wherewithal to continue to innovate and surprise.
