Bell Firms To Fight New FCC Rules Even Though They Got What They Wanted
from the always-looking-for-more dept
It appears that one of the reasons that people are confused about whether the recent FCC decision is good or bad for the phone companies is that the phone companies themselves have no idea. It wasn't so long ago, this article claims, that the Baby Bells were fighting for almost exactly the resolution they received last week. Now, however, they're saying they're going to fight the ruling. Basically, once they realized what the government was going to give them, they decided they wanted more.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
