JakartaDean writes "Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska, and internet regulation, fame, has lost his Senate seat. AP is reporting "Stevens was declared the loser in Alaska on Tuesday night after a two-week-long process of counting nearly 90,000 absentee and early votes from across Alaska. With this victory, Democrat Mark Begich has defeated one of the giants in the U.S. Senate by a 3,724-vote margin, a stunning end to a 40-year Senate career marred by Stevens' conviction on corruption charges a week before the election."
It's probably too early to tell what this means for internet regulation, but at least there's a better (ie >0) chance that the next committee chair will understand something about the internet."
