If the election is over come November, the new president will have to worry a lot when it comes to the usual questions of war, health care, education, and more. However, the tech industry will also pay much attention to what to do McCain or Obama on important issues such as the Tech-Net neutrality, broadband availability, H-1B visas, and protection of intellectual property.

If positions of the candidates reached on these questions, you can move your voice, it is worth knowing.Here are some basic information about each topic, and how the candidates have traditionally stood on them.

Net Neutrality

The issue of net neutrality is a sticky book. It should be possible for a large company to give extra money for faster loading speeds, so that visitors to their site visitors a better experience than on smaller, less rich sites of the company? How to buy a lot of money when it comes to the Internet?

These questions are important to the leading Internet ServiceProviders, stakeholders, and members of Congress. The idea behind the network neutrality is that nobody should have greater access to the Internet, or the bandwidth, just because they have more money.

Most people in the tech sector, argue that a free open-Internet is the best choice, unless they are part of an Internet company that could benefit from tiered systems. However, the big question is how to regulate and maintain that openness. Some believe that government regulation is betterMethod, while others favor of competition in the market.

McCain has a plan based on the market longer recommended, while Obama has thrown his support of legislation to preserve net neutrality. Obama was originally one of the sponsors of the Internet Freedom Preservation Act, mandating net neutrality. This law was introduced in January 2007 and has no major action on.

Obama has repeatedly stressed his commitment to the preservation of neutrality ina series of forums, including the adoption of legislation to ensure a free and open Internet. McCain prefers an approach that is more hands-off. He believes that net neutrality is an important issue, but also of the opinion that Internet service providers the right to profit from their investments, and that good intentions often lead to more than regulated markets.

The argument against net neutrality legislation is that excessive regulation would invite the entire Internet structure, the destructionMuch of what the system size. The debate continues over the best way to ensure freedom of the Internet, and shows no signs of stopping. However, net neutrality is not the only issue at hand.

Broadband Availability

They think most of us that are the days of dial-up, long gone, but for a significant number of people living in rural areas, dial-up Internet connections are all that is available. You can not have access to high-speed Internet access, which could be in breach of itsOpportunities for business over the Internet or access to some of the information.

Much of the concern on this subject was published in the reports of the international OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development). By the United States, the provision of broadband services in the fourth place in 2001, but it has slipped fifteenth of thirty countries in 2007.

One of the major problems in providing nationwide broadband access? Figuring out where it actually available. The FCC has not yetaccurate maps, in which broadband can be accessed. Concrete data is required. As with other issues, the candidates differ on how to improve access for rural Americans.

Obama proposes new definition of broadband Internet access. At the moment, the FCC will be there as a transfer of 200 kbps, which he feels is very low. He wants to provide the basic fund reform, a fund of money for telecommunications at libraries and schools to install. Obama wants to make better use of wireless technology and makeprovide training and resources to such access in order to bring hospitals, nursing homes, libraries and schools financed by federal funds and promote partnerships with private companies to bring broadband to areas that do not yet have them.

McCain has also expressed its support for the amendment of the current FCC definition of broadband. However, he agrees with the idea that government regulation and funding are the answer to the ever-improving service to rural areas. He wants to rely on marketForces more than government regulation, and was the only Republican to vote against the Telecommunications Act of 1996. This act deregulated the telecommunications industry. It should be noted that his vote not because he against deregulation, but because he thought too many handouts to special interests have been included in the bill.

H-1B visas

Immigration reform is a hot topic, but a lesser known part of the question, the number of H-1B visas given to foreigners with special skillsYou can therefore work in the United States. Only 65,000 of them a year are issued, and they are usually made quickly. This number will be of 195,000 in late 2003.

Tech companies have been calling on Congress to allow them to hire talented people from other countries and students born abroad. In fact, Microsoft was not only able to obtain H-1B visas for one third of the people they wanted to rent in the past year. A number of bills to raise the cap to have been introduced, but can not be used.

McCainsupports the increase in the number of H-1B visas issued, and believes that immigration reform is not really possible until 2009. He endorsed also deepen the securing of the border. Obama, on the other hand, urges a revision of the immigration system for foreign nationals who have retained their degree in the United States and to become naturalized. He wants the workers less dependent on employers for the ability to stay in the country.

Protection of intellectual property

In recentYears to steps have been hit hard against piracy set of enhanced penalties for doing more pressure on other countries, their own police. However, the problem is not under control. Obama wants to reform and update the patent and copyright system, and has promised to ensure the protection of intellectual property in foreign markets through greater cooperation with the international standards. McCain Opposes the participation of the government, unless blatant patent misuse orIntellectual property rights abuse is happening and he wants to avoid protectionism.

Technical issues are becoming increasingly important in every presidential election. As the technology a bigger part of our lives, the way to give candidates think legislation is also growing in importance. If you're signing of legislation on technical issues, watch out!
