The newly-merged "America Online slash Netscape" juggernaut will continue to take an active interest in tech politics, according to Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen.

Andreessen was speaking Tuesday morning, after hosting a breakfast at the Netscape Briefing Center for the New Democrat Network, a political action arm of the New Democrat movement, and TechNet, a high-tech lobby group.
