  1. bring WiFi everywhere!

    Why shouldn't we have WiFi everywhere? The cell phone carriers are asking for a huge premium that we all know is a ripoff compared to the rest of the world!

    Bring free WiFi to the entire nation - let us have no roaming!

  3. New Federalism: Grow a common SOA accross levels of gov

    So much of the business of gov is working with other gov agencies fed/state/local....what if all gov information and services were available over common evolving API's?. Integrating data, tracking funds, coordinating services would all be better enabled, imagine what applications could be developed...this would be the Fed in the position of establishing the standards ----rather than building the uber UI.

  7. fix the internal identity management problems

    Each government organization is full of identity silos that are not integrated. This causes a threat to national security in that there are many accounts that are not being purged and leaving access holes open. This would also setup the basic steps for interagency intelligence sharing.

  10. This site not useful

    Because anyone can vote from any where as often as he/she can refresh the page. Waste of time. At least use the ip address to ensure only US citizens vote and vote only once per IP address.

  11. Dean Kaymen should be the CTO.

    Regardless of the many useful and brilliant inventions that have come from this man, he started an international competition in the field of robotics that has been an inspiration for thousands of young people.

  13. strongly fund diabetes research

    Diabetes costs between 1/4 to 1/3 of the health care dollars in this country. Heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, amputations, blindness and many other diseases are related, either directly or indirectly, to diabetes.

  19. Create new Porn tax to fund school IT projects

    Tax all business selling "erotic" products and services and use the revenue to fund IT projects within schools.

    Tax revenue can be collected as sales / service tax.

    Schools to obtain funding through standard grant process. Emphasis should be on under-funded, low income areas.

  20. Analyse top tech needs & if edu fills If not, Apprenticeship

    I think the CTO will need to first analyse what are teh top technologies needes for the US to meet goals such as energy independence. If educational programs don't sufficiently address these needs, supplement the educational system with apprenticeships. To fill these, I think there should be some sort of practical testing, because history has shown time and time again taht academic knowledge, and a talent for practical application, are NOT the same thing - a person can have straight A's, but not be able to apply book-knowledge to solving practical problems.

    Actualyl, that's true of pretty much everything. Grades…
