Nice to see Paul announcing Intel is reinvesting in America. It would be nice if Paul/Intel or TechAmerica would use their influence to bring down the cost of Blu-ray licensing fees so independent producers can afford to replicate Blu-ray discs. This would drive demand for higher end computers and ultimately increase demand for Blu-ray players. And it would create more jobs downstream.
