US Dept. of Commerce Reorganizes Technology and Telecom Activities

The U.S Department of Congress plans to consolidate its office of Technology Administration (TA), the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), and the e-commerce policy functions of the International Trade Administration (ITA). The new agency would focus on a range of issues including technical standards, spectrum management, and technology and e-commerce policy issues. The changes require Congressional approval.
