Hello, again & more Hon. Ted "Tubes" Stevens Antics

Hello blog, long time no see, I promise to visit more regularly! In the mean time the honorable senator from Alaska, Ted Stevens is at it again, on a smaller scale this time. Senator Stevens, who is the vice-chair for the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation spoke up in a recent hearing about cellular communication, number portability and emerging new technologies (switching between cellular and wifi, etc.) All he wants is to have his current number follow him where ever he goes and is told politely that such things aren’t currently possible with existing technology. One would think that the vice-chair for such a relevant committee would be aware of such issues. Obviously none of the attendees have heard of Grand Central, a recent Google acquisition that provides you with one phone number which you associate with all of your current phones (home, cell, work) so that you can be tracked down no matter where you are (I’ve tested it and it works great, plus it’s free). Yet I digress, for more on Senator Stevens including audio, see this post at The Consumerist. Go here to read the remarks and watch the video (thanks government)!
