Why Telecom Companies Are Suddenly Fighting For Consumer Rights

from the the-enemy-of-my-enemy... dept

Declan McCullough’s latest interview is with a top lawyer from Verizon who is pushing back against Congress and the entertainment industry for the various ridiculous laws they’ve been proposing lately. Of course, Verizon and the other Baby Bells are doing this for selfish reasons to support their own interests. However, in the interview, she says a lot of the right things about preventing these laws from getting passed. One of the problems that techies have had in protesting these laws is that it’s been tough to get big business backing on many of them. Teaming up with the Baby Bells may be a way to accomplish what’s needed… for now.
