On November 12, Senators Dodd (D-CT), Snowe (R-ME), and Durbin (D-IL) introduced the Digital Opportunity Investment Trust Act (S. 1854). The bill would create a $20 billion Digital Opportunity Investment Trust (DO-IT), funded from the auction of electromagnetic spectrum, to spend on digital initiatives in education and research. The fund is the goal of the Digital Promise Project.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
