Rumor is that HB2984 has been amended to extend R&D tax credit w/out killing the tech investor credit~Will confirm ASAP http://j.mp/dzBhKh
Anyone have an update on HB2984 after yesterday's hearing? I don't see an update on line.
HSTC is changing its position on HB2867 HD1. We will be neutral and submitting comments only. This bill is similar to HB2984 HD2 in that our membership is split.
To everyone,
If you want to see the high tech investor tax credit to continue through year end then please let me know. I plan to submit testimony on those bills that would prematurely cut off the credit (HB2984) or defer the claiming of credits (H…

This is a knee jerk bill and a very bad idea.
I think increasing taxes and removing investment incentives is just the right response to an economic downturn and an increased need for diversification, don't you? (jeez)
Sorry for the delay, the bill basically removes all tax credits--not just tech but EVERYWHERE.
Can you share a little bit of why and save us lazy folks the headache inducement of making sense of the bill?
This bill will be heard tomorrow 2/17/10 at 3pm in House Conference room 308.

Thanks for your perspective Keiki-Pua. Please keep us all informed as this proceeds. Once you have read the amended bill and obtained direction from your Board I'd like to know what official position the organization plans to take.

Hi Mike,
The Vice Chair asked if we'd be open to working with them to determine a revenue neutral solution to help them balance the budget. I am anxiously awaiting the ammendments to see what actually got put in the bill. The good news is that it p…

Google to build ultra-fast broadband networks
WASHINGTON – Google plans to build experimental, ultra-fast Internet networks in a handful of communities around the country.
The search company said Wednesday that its fiber-optic broadband networks will deliver speeds of 1 gigabit per second to as many as 500,000 Americans. Google Inc. says those systems will be more than 100 times faster than the networks that most Americans have access to today.
In a blog post, the company said the networks will let consumers download a high-definition, full-length feature film in less than five minutes and allow rural health clinics to send 3-D medical images over the Web.
Google says it will seek input from communities that might be interested in getting one of the testbed networks.
