Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did speak about internet freedom on Tuesday, but we didn't get many concrete plans as to what the government plans to do to insure this internationally. The State Department does have to walk a fine line ensuring security from cyber criminals and terrorists, but also they want to ensure equal unfettered access though no word on how they're gonna do that yet.

In related news, we do know that the Obama Administration plans to increase the budget for cyber security at home. Monday's budget proposal included more money for security research and development to reduce the risk of insider threats and make sure the programs that run our national utilities are not threatened. This is just a proposal, but it'll kick into effect in 2012.

And if you feel like your cellphone bill is always higher than you anticipated, it's probably because of taxes. A new report from KSE partner shows that customers in Nebraska, Washington, and New York are paying the highest percentage of tax on wireless bills. The rate is over 20% of the total amount in these states. The national average is not much better at 16%. Unfortunately this is not very well regulated, and municipalities can make changes to these taxes as they see fit, so the customers get shafted.
