Tech nerds had to appreciate the irony of Rep. Greg Walden�s announcement Thursday that he would lead the House�s top telecom panel.

Walden had long been considered a top candidate to lead CTI, given his broadcasting background � [i][b]his tweet even included his call sign,W7EQI, which references his amateur radio call sign[/b][/i]. Moreover, he has significant favor among GOP brass: Walden departed the Energy and Commerce subpanel earlier this year so that Democrat-turned Republican Rep. Parker Griffith (Ala.) could have a committee assignment.

He will take over at a time when a number of tech issues are on the immediate political horizon � including Net neutrality, or rules that would require Web providers treat all traffic equally. Walden previously voted against a Net neutrality amendment in 2006.
