New Commerce Secretary
There are rumors that John Thompson, the current CEO of Symantec Software will be nominated to become the United States Secretary of Commerce. Thompson already has plans to step down from his post at Symantec in the middle of this year.
What can we expect from this guy? I’m betting on a bit of a protectionist agenda. Be on the lookout for new rules against the government buying software from other countries.
For example, there is a Russian software security company out there that offers a competing antivirus solution with Symantec. Do you think that it will make it’s way onto government computers in the future?
It will be interesting to see who gets nominated for that post.
