Shapiro Urges Trump, Johnson to Release ‘Substantive Agenda’ on Tech Policy

The “detailed technology and innovation agenda” that presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton released two weeks ago (see 1606280071) demonstrated “her awareness of how vital our sector is to the success of the U.S. economy,” CTA President Gary Shapiro said in a Thursday statement. He urged presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump and Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson to “follow suit and release a substantive agenda that specifically outlines their positions on technology and innovation issues.” Shapiro wants to know where Trump and Johnson “differ” from Clinton on technology and innovation policy or “where is there common ground,” he said. “Do they have any plans at all on spectrum, investment, broadband, training and education, and competitiveness? If so, when will their plans be released?”
