Net Neutrality: Telco Cold-Calling Chicanery
A fellow blogger at “p2p Blog” just forwarded this tidbit on the latest telco-fueled effort to scare Americans to side with AT&T against Net Neutrality. Be on the alert for friendly callers bearing lies about increased costs to consumers.You've got to read about this these under-handed activities here.
Indeed, “TV 4 US” is yet another AT&T-backed front group that is burning through telco cash to spread the lie that Net Neutrality will cost consumers.
What’s really costing consumers isn’t Net Neutrality but the phone companies’ multi-million-dollar campaign to kill it. Companies like AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth have spent tens of millions of dollars on canned phone calls, advertisements, DC lobbyists and phony front groups to squash our genuine grassroots effort.
Where do you think they get that money? That’s right. A portion of your phone bill goes towards creating campaigns that are designed to deceive consumers into acting against their best interests.
