Re: <nettime> Al Gore and the Internet 

Gore also played a role in the Clinton
administration's pushing for the Escrowed
Encryption standard and the Clipper chip, which
was opposed (at least initially) by the very
industry that now employs V Cerf.  

A fine promotion of the release of the Internet
from government agencies, that was.
