Just pointing this out, Telecom is part of the info sector and they've been lobbying forever.
I would say that google, Facebook, Microsoft and apple (prop 8) all lobby in some form. I mean Marissa Mayer had Obama over for dinner during the height of the campaign (she was hosting a fundraiser with her husband).
My point is this: we don't need more lobbyists so much as we need leadership. Zuck tried and has likely failed. In recent years I've started to think Ron Conway might be an interesting candidate to consider; he certainly holds enough sway in the valley.

Food for thought.
