Take a second to read through some of it. At first glance it sounds good, but there really isn't a lot of meat there (for those lawyering, there is definitely substance but most of the release is just jargon). Here is what i consider the real actionable items (rather than saying blanket statements that sound good on a podium):
>> give innovators who start social enterprises or new businesses in distressed communities the opportunity to apply for forgiveness of up to $17,500 of their student loans after 5 years
>> would “staple” a green card to STEM masters and PhDs from accredited institutions, and support visas that allow top entrepreneurs from abroad to come to the U.S.
>> will grow the research and development budgets of entities like the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, and DARPA
>> create a competitive grant program to give cities, regions, and states incentives to create a “model digital community”
>> strongly supports the FCC decision under the Obama Administration to adopt strong network neutrality rules.
Note, I only skimmed the full fact sheet, so there may be more that i missed.
