For the last 9 months or so I've been working part-time with a Washington think tank in an analyst capacity, not as a lobbyist, and not on the Comcast payroll. My views about Internet regulation precede this job and haven't been altered by it. For purposes of the present discussion, I'd rather be known as the guy who wrote the first IEEE 802 standard for Ethernet over twisted pair, or designed the Wi-Fi MAC protocol, or the DRP for UWB, or something like that. You might want to ring up the IEEE and get them to fix their egregious omission of your name as the designer of the Wi-Fi MAC protocol.
