Paul Karpowicz has nothing against broadband. But he has no plans to take part in a government effort to bring it to more homes.
Karpowicz is president of Meredith Broadcasting, which owns 12 local TV stations from Portland, Ore., to New Haven, Conn. Meredith also holds unused TV airwaves covering some of those markets and Karpowicz intends to use them to stream programming to handheld devices.

Como paso esencial para lograr la estabilidad y la legitimidad del Gobierno de Haití, la secretaria de Estado norteamericana, Hillary Clinton, ha abogado porque el país caribeño celebre elecciones en cuanto sea posible. Los comicios deberían haberse celebrado a finales de febrero pero el terremoto del 12 de enero devastó Puerto Príncipe y dejó más de 220.000 muertos y un millón de haitianos sin hogar.

La Administración de Barack Obama quiere dar pasos concretos en su compromiso para lograr garantizar derechos universales a todos los ciudadanos del mundo. El Departamento del Tesoro de Estados Unidos acaba de anunciar la promulgación de una serie de leyes que permitirán exportar tecnología informática a países como Irán, Sudán y Cuba. "Estas leyes harán más fácil a los individuos de esos países usar Internet para comunicarse entre ellos y con el mundo exterior", se lee en el comunicado emitido por el Tesoro.
Ankara ha llamado a consultas a su embajador en Washington en protesta por la aprobación en la Comisión de Asuntos Exteriores de la Cámara de Representantes de EE UU de una moción a favor de reconocer como "genocidio" la "aniquilación sistemática y deliberada de 1,5 millones de armenios" ordenada por el Imperio Otomano durante la I Guerra Mundial.

The Obama administration on Tuesday gave the public a peek at the Bush administration's classified plan to secure the nation's computer systems, but the newly revealed list of broad goals provided few surprises and key provisions remain secret.
The decision to publish a summary of the cyber initiative on the White House blog came just a month after the Washington-based Electronic Privacy Information Center filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking release of the computer security document.
Jared Starkey is going all out for Google broadband. The day after Google said it would provide high-speed Internet access to as many as 500,000 people around the U.S., Starkey set up a Facebook page to lobby Google to bring the service to his hometown, Topeka, Kan. Since then, Starkey has passed out bright-orange necklaces made of the kind of fiber-optic cable used to deliver fast Web connections and rallied 100 people to show up at a downtown redevelopment meeting wearing T-shirts that play on Google's motto for the broadband plan.
