We can unleash a wave of civic innovation if we open up government data to programmers. The government has a treasure trove of information: legislation, budgets, voter files, campaign finance data, census data, etc. Let's STANDARDIZE, STRUCTURE, and OPEN up this data. 6157 33 6111 Obama CTO general 117031 frontseat frontseat frontseat 2008-11-11T21:10:59Z 2008-11-11T22:11:47Z general 68968 http://ideas.obamacto.org/pages/6111-obama-cto/suggestions/68968-ensure-the-internet-is-widely-accessible-network-neutral The Internet is one of the most valuable technical resources in America.

In order to continue the amazing growth and utility of the Internet, the CTO's policies should: Improve accessibility in remote and depressed areas. Maintain a carrier and content neutral network. Foster a competitive and entrepreneurial business environment. 13677 39 6111 Obama CTO general 124867 Peat Peat Peat 2008-11-12T02:01:55Z 2008-11-12T02:01:55Z general 69416 http://ideas.obamacto.org/pages/6111-obama-cto/suggestions/69416-repeal-the-digital-milennium-copyright-act-dmca- It is evident that the framers of the infamous Digital Millenium Copyright Act intended it to have a transformative effect on the public and legal perception of intellectual property.

It is evident that the framers of the infamous Digital Millenium Copyright Act intended it to have a transformative effect on the public and legal perception of intellectual property. In the attempt to develop a fully-realized definition of what constitutes infringement, fair use, and the rights of users in the consumption of digital works, the DMCA has had quite the opposite effect by institutionalizing considerable legal ambiguity. The recent spat between the John McCain presidential campaign and YouTube has demonstrated that both practitioners of law and a leading supporter of the DMCA are no closer to understanding the controversial law than the general populace. With so much confusion and abuse surrounding the DMCA, isn't it time we start over and take a fresh approach to intellectual property that doesn't irreconcilably tip the scales in favor of big media? 8845 30 6111 Obama CTO general 126815 anonymous anonymous anonymous 2008-11-12T14:40:08Z 2008-11-12T14:40:08Z general 194738 http://ideas.obamacto.org/pages/6111-obama-cto/suggestions/194738-bail-out-the-solar-industry China's JA Solar Holdings Co Ltd reported a quarterly net loss Tuesday and said it would fall short of its 2009 revenue target as tight credit markets and a global economic downturn cut demand for... China's JA Solar Holdings Co Ltd reported a quarterly net loss Tuesday and said it would fall short of its 2009 revenue target as tight credit markets and a global economic downturn cut demand for solar power. Solar gloom overshadows Q-Cells, Solon: A lack of project funding threatens to undermine the solar industry's already fragile growth prospects, two of the sector's biggest players said on Tuesday, reporting profits that missed market forecasts. Bail-outs for solar startups would be much cheaper than bailing out big banks or big Detroit, and would have a big long-term payoff. 2 0 6111 Obama CTO general 138930 wware wware wware 2009-05-20T11:07:15Z 2009-05-20T11:07:15Z general 2008-11-13T18:31:54Z 2009-05-20T11:00:50Z
