Keeping politicians' hands off the Net & everything else related to technology
S. 328, the DTV Delay Act, did not receive the 2/3 majority needed to pass in the House under the procedure known as “Suspension of the Rules.” Here’s the roll call vote – 258 for passage, 168 against. It was introduced and passed in the Senate Monday.
It would pass a straight up-or-down vote, but House leadership evidently miscalculated the level of support the measure enjoys.
