According to a post on the AT&T News Room site, "The FCC is conducting inquiries into the wireless industry regarding competition and innovation. Additionally, the FCC has announced an upcoming rule making on net neutrality that would apply to wired and wireless networks." said Ralph De la Vega during an address at CTIA’s semi-annual convention. If not the FCC than who? AT&T should be left to their own devices?
Getting calls on your mobile is one thing, but when you start allowing TelCo's to sanction access to internet based content, we are treading into the global, public pools of information. It comes down to cost, only those who can afford top-level services will have access to what should be publicly accessible information if AT&T et al have their way.
AT&T CEO, Richard Del La Vega is quoted as saying “The facts are clear: the U.S. wireless industry’s virtuous cycle of innovation and investment is working to deliver real value to American consumers,” said de la Vega. “We want that to continue.”
The post goes on to site the top ten reasons AT&T should be allowed to do whatever they want... (*ahem*) I mean, what de la vega says: “As part of our dialog with the FCC, we hope to present some important facts to show how — and why — less regulation is the best path to the future for America’s wireless industry,” or, "Why AT&T should be allowed to be the entity making those regulatory decisions because they know best! And to prove they know best, AT&T "created a site dedicated to the first completed decade of AT&T innovation in the 21st century. Supporting Mr. de la Vega’s remarks at CTIA, the new site reflects on AT&T’s effort to set a leader’s pace in bringing more innovation and customer choice to areas such as devices, networks and application development."
Ah, Mr. de la Vega started his career in 1974 with BellSouth (then Southern Bell) as a management assistant. He _would_ know how innovative AT&T is after all this time. See, they made a chart and everything! http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=2949
