Wired News: Broadcasters Gut Digital TV Bill
Ok, I admit it - I don't really care that much about this particular issue, but what irks me is that it's so incredibly obvious who's interests Senators Burns and Hollings have in mind:
The top industries supporting Conrad Burns are:
1
TV/Movies/Music
$223,150
2
Telecom Services & Equipment
$211,718
3
Lobbyists
$191,002
The top industries supporting Fritz Hollings are:
1
Lawyers/Law Firms
$212,216
2
Lobbyists
$110,987
3
TV/Movies/Music
$109,833
4
Telecom Services & Equipment
$96,000
5
Telephone Utilities
$67,200
You'll get your reward next year, Fritz.
