Business Week suggests that should Obama be elected President, TCP/IP co-creator and Google “Chief Technology Evangalist” Vint-Cerf is on a short list to be the nation’s CTO (Google’s CEO is apparently an Obama fan). That’s not welcome news for companies like Comcast, AT&T and Verizon, who’ve had several public (and a few covert) battles with Google concerning network neutrality, white space broadband, and wireless spectrum auctions. Incumbents probably won’t like the other potential CTOs on Business Week’s short list either: Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer; Amazon CEO Jeffrey Bezos and respected Princeton professor Ed Felten. The Dallas Morning News also explores how the net-neutrality landscape may soon be changing for incumbent operators.
