| to start looking at the broadband stimulus program and, perhaps next 
| week, examine how the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is doing 
| under the new management. The national broadband plan, required under 
| the Federal stimulus program, should also be a topic of discussion when 
| the Subcommittee holds an oversight hearing.

Obama speech disrupter a health industry darling

,----[ Quote ]
| At that point the president was interrupted by Rep. Addison Graves âJoeâ 
| Wilson (right), a Republican from South Carolina.
| 
| âYou lie!â Wilson shouted from the crowd.
| 
| Obama paused for a moment before continuing his address as Wilsonâs 
| colleagues looked on in shock following the breach of protocol.
| 
| Whether because of his outspokenness or in spite of it, Wilson is a 
| major recipient of contributions from the health care industry.

| in a single day and OC192 fiber optic connections crisscross the planet, the
| FCC â the most important communications agency in the United States â would
| at least be able to use modern technology to stream its own public meetings.
