Bundestag says goodbye to the Committee for Internet Policy - well great, the only place in the Bundestag that dealt directly with the net and the net community and didn't try to regulate the net with various special interests (like the alternatives proposed by the Union in the article) is being shut down. Idiotic. But of course, the committee opposed the Union's clientele a bit too often, something like that has to be prevented at all costs.
Update: It looks like the committee is getting a reprieve and can continue to exist for now.
