"Two experts" call for more government control of the Internet
http://j.mp/wIJzJC (AP / Star Tribune)
"Two experts are saying the bill could allow many companies to avoid
regulation entirely or drag out the process for up to eight years
before they would actually have to improve their computer security.
The legislation would limit the number of industries subject to
regulation to those in which a cyberattack could cause "an
extraordinary number of fatalities" or a "severe degradation" of
national security."

With all due respect to Baker and Lewis, I believe it's pretty well
known where their sympathies are and have been on these issues, and it
is wholly appropriate that corporations and the public at large resist
efforts to inappropriately increase government/DHS/military control of
the public Internet.
