Scoop: Microsoft, Uber leaving Internet Association (Axios)

Axios: Scoop: Microsoft, Uber leaving Internet Association. “Microsoft and Uber are leaving the Internet Association (IA), a trade group that lobbies on behalf of internet companies and the tech industry, Axios has confirmed. Why it matters: Losing Microsoft and Uber, two major members, is a blow for the group. The association has seen steadily waning influence in D.C. in recent years, partly because it does not work on the competition and antitrust issues that beset the industry right now.”
