AT&T CEO Attacks Network Neutrality

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the does-america-even-understand-why-this-matters dept.

Verteiron writes "The former CEO of AT&T, Ed Whitacre, had some interesting remarks to make about Net Neutrality during his parting speech. Choice quotes include his plans for getting anti-neutrality legislation through: "Will Congress let us do it?" Whitacre asks his colleagues. "You bet they will — cuz we don't call it cashin' in. We call it 'deregulation.' " More information on AT&T's attitude problem and a video of the speech are available. There's no sign that his replacement is any better."

    Even the Kuwaiti you pretended to "save" 15 years ago just switched to the Euro. The Saudis will follow soon.
    Face it: you should not have "voted" for Bush.

    The people who make the product aren't the brains of the company. If they were, they wouldn't be slaving away on the assembly lines.

    Quit being ridiculous. They're already getting paid what they're worth.
