Internet Relief?
There is a column in the Wall Street Journal today, previewing the talks between the U.S. and Antigua regarding the access and regulation of online casinos (and I would presume by extension poker rooms). For those of you not following the legal mess, Antigua challenged the U.S. at the World Trade Organization, as the U.S. allows U.S. companies to offer gambling services, but not foreign corporations. This is a small loophole, but the U.S. is sitting down for talks this month, and have said that they would like to have a settlement before the end of the month.
I won’t say this will legalize the whole things or even bring back the advertising, but it is a step in the right direction. Even better, vote out Bush and the rest of the Moral Majority!!
