Abstract

The article reflects on the impact of the 110th U.S. Congress dominated by the Democratic Party on the information community. Issues that were left unresolved in the 109th Congress include Net Neutrality, data breaches and identity theft, information privacy, a review of the Patriot Act, digital copyright and patent reform. Net Neutrality focuses on proposals by the telecommunications industry to create a multitiered pricing structure for transmitting Internet content. The Congress is likely to scrutinize other privacy issues including increased oversight of health information privacy laws and a possible restructuring of Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.; The article reflects on the impact of the 110th U.S. Congress dominated by the Democratic Party on the information community.
