Net neutrality supporters say they’re unhappy that the Verizon Communications and Google proposal for new Net neutrality rules does not go far enough.
On Monday the companies announced a joint proposal that outlines a legislative framework for consideration by lawmakers. The companies have been working together on the Net neutrality issue for almost a year. In October, they issued a shared statement of principles on Net neutrality. And then, a few months later, they submitted a joint filing to the FCC. In late March, the CEOs discussed their interest in an open Internet through an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal. […]
« We remain committed to achieving a consensus solution to the Net neutrality issue, either with the FCC or with the Congress, » Claudia Jones, AT&T vice president of public affairs and media relations, said in a statement. « In that sense, the Verizon-Google agreement demonstrates that it is possible to bridge differences on this issue. »
