AT&T Asks Employees To Hide AT&T Affiliation While Protesting Net Neutrality Laws
,----[ Quote ]
| Take, for example, the backlash today on the news
| that AT&T's chief lobbyist sent out an email to
| all AT&T employees urging them to protest any new
| net neutrality laws and hide their AT&T
| affiliation as they do so. AT&T has confirmed the
| email, which has numerous factual errors (and
| remember, I actually agree that net neutrality
| laws don't make sense). But, more importantly, the
| mainstream media is now calling AT&T out for this
| outrageous effort to have employees pretend
| they're not employees in protesting these rules.

Flip Flops Are Evil
,----[ Quote ]
| Surprisingly, AT&T has reversed its position, and is now
| passionately supportive of net neutrality. What, you may ask,
| caused this dramatic shift? Why, Google, of course. AT&T filed
| a letter with the FCC today complaining that Google Voice
| blocks calls to certain rural locations. According to AT&T,
| blocking phone calls is a violation of net neutrality â
| dictionary, anyone? â and thus Google is in violation of the
| rules that aren't rules which AT&T vehemently despised but now
| passionately adores.

Verizon, AT&T: Net neutrality not OK for wireless
,----[ Quote ]
| "We are concerned, however, that the FCC appears ready to
| extend the entire array of Net neutrality requirements to what
| is perhaps the most competitive consumer market in America:
| wireless services," he said.
|
| He argues that wireless networks differ from wireline
| broadband networks because bandwidth is more limited on a
| wireless network. And he said that imposing new rules on how
| carriers operate their wireless networks would stifle
| investment.
