Time's website reports that the White House blocked Qualcomm and Nokia from sending representatives to the meeting of the Inter-American Telecommunication Commission--apparently because those companies supported Kerry during the last election.

"We wanted people who would represent the Administration positively, and--call us nutty--it seemed like those who wanted to kick this Administration out of town last November would have some difficulty doing that."
