While we here at CTWatch may seem to have a keener eye toward cyberinfrastructure policy as it relates to academia, we won’t overlook the private sector. Whether or not this SiliconValley.com article is reflective of the overall tech industry’s grading of the current Bush administration isn’t for us to decide. However, not surprisingly, the opinions illustrated in this article (and many others) seem to be partisan driven, meaning those that lean more politically to the right seem to be more positive and those that lean more to the left seem to be more critical. Also, not surprisingly, those with influential positions within the administration won’t dare go on the record and be critical.

We have often pointed out that in the bigger picture, industry, government, and academia should work more closely together towards common cyberinfrastructure goals. If you’re in the tech industry, what do you think about the current administration’s view of the industry and their view on innovation and technology in general?
