What the Democrats' win means for tech | CNET News.com:
"By an 11-11 tie, a GOP-dominated committee failed in June to approve rules requiring that all Internet traffic be treated the same no matter what its 'source' or 'destination' might be. A similar measure also failed in the House of Representatives.
"But now that this week's elections have switched control of the House back to the Democrats -- and they appear to have seized the Senate as well -- the outlook for technology-related legislation has changed dramatically overnight.
"On a wealth of topics -- Net neutrality, digital copyright, merger approval, data retention, Internet censorship -- a Capitol Hill controlled by Democrats should yield a shift in priorities on technology-related legislation."
