  2. Implement National ID to Grow Jobs, Reduce Cost of Business

    The CTO should develop strategies for enabling business to improve job growth, efficiency and security within the US by implementing a National Library Database (NLD) of all business entities and National ID (NID) for all persons. Examples of how NLD and NID can be used to foster growth include:

    Linking professional certification information with business IDs, and online service history - Today, it takes far longer for a small business to establish a reputation with the government than it does at eBay and the quality of the reputational information on file with the government is probably less up-to-date and less…

  3. Require US Content for USG Technology

    Most computers purchased in the US today are manufactured with no US labor and have little or no US manufactured content. Require that within 24 months, 49% of all new technology systems purchased by USG be manufactured within the US. Also require that USG only acquire technology (software or equipment costing than $500 USMD* ) that has at least one US supplier that can be produced 100% with US labor and supplies.

  4. WiMax Technology

    In order to insure that all people have access to the vast information the web provides, the CTO should work to create WiFi available to all people on all platforms. We have WiFi hot spots in major cities, but it is time that we expand this to all areas. WiMax technology exists, but it needs to be capitalized and used to insure that all people have access to the information. With this we can finally have a well informed society. No longer will the major cable companies have a complete monopoly over the broadband industry. The internet should not only…

  5. Authentication to support secure electronic services

    The push for a 21st centruy government hits a wall with knowing just who is at the other end of the connection. It is hard if not impossible to file for many government benefits or services at state, local and federal level because of the inability to clearly identify who the parties to the transaction are. A shift to secure online government services at a certain level requires some ways to address the citizen authentication issue in order to protect their privacy and avoid fraud. Can we do this while avoiding "big brother"?
