Senate to get techy next year

Internet News reports that the Senate Commerce Committee will hold a number of hearings on internet and communications issues early next year: Senate Sets Ambitious Tech Schedule: "Signaling its intent to focus on Internet and telecom issues next year, the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee plans to hold 14 hearings on a wide variety of technology topics between January and March."

I'll try to cover these as much as possible. Maybe it's time to consider finding a sponsorship to underwrite complete coverage…
