Unfortunately the generation of politicians that are currently in power are by default tech-illiterate - there will be some who really know what they're talking about, but they will be those people who have needed to actively pick up that information. In general I would not bet on a randomly selected politician being able to describe what a browser is. It's a shame, because well-judged monopolies action is valuable. You can see the potential in the way that the standardization on USB has been nudged and cajoled on tablets, e-reader, phones, and tablets.
