A Stanford professor and AT&T have proposed ?letting Internet users individually control which Web sites were delivered at a faster or slower speed by their ISP," which wouldn't violate net neutrality.
"The proposed AT&T/DIRECTV merger will advance the deployment of high-speed broadband, strengthen competition in the video and broadband markets, and promote collective bargaining and good, career jobs," said CWA today.
According to a new report from the Progressive Policy Institute, AT&T and Verizon are ranked one and two among private companies in domestic capital spending.
AT&T is challenging dominant cable operator Charter for high-speed broadband service in the St. Louis area, mirroring similar broadband competition elsewhere.
