Union Tells FCC ‘Net Neutrality’ Rule May Squelch Investment
The Communications Workers of America, a union with workers at AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc., urged U.S. regulators to protect investment and job creation as they craft rules on Internet competition.
“We depend on private capital” to invest in networks, Larry Cohen, president of the union, said in a letter today to Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski. The union distributed the letter by e-mail.
The Communications Workers joins AT&T, Verizon and Comcast Corp. in expressing concern after Genachowski said last month that he wanted “net neutrality” rules to prevent companies from favoring some content providers over others. The companies have said the rules aren’t necessary and may hinder their ability to manage their networks.
