Backers included the wireless group CTIA, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and
TechNet, which represents big technology companies such as Google Inc, Apple
Inc, Yahoo! Inc and Cisco Systems Inc.
Is Apple supporting this bill?
technically it's off-topic (though this list is nearly dead), and you seem to
have answered your own question, but yes, Apple supports CISPA; like many
companies, Apple is hiding its support behind trade organizations; Apple is a
member of at least four trade groups that support CISPA: CTIA and TechNet as
noted above, and also ITIC and BSA; Apple is an important member of these
groups, and yet it could be a member and still disagree with their positions;
if so, however, you'd expect it would have issued its own statement … it's not
like Apple never issues statements, Apple signed the pro gay marriage brief in
Feb., and one could consider CISPA an issue closer to Apple's actual business
interests
