Verizon Wants FCC to Ban States From Protecting Your Privacy
http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Verizon-Wants-FCC-to-Ban-States-From-Protecting-Your-Privacy-140625
In a letter and white paper sent last week to the FCC (pdf),
Verizon insists the FCC has ample authority to pre-empt state
efforts to protect consumer privacy, and should act to prevent
states from doing so. "Allowing every State and locality to
chart its own course for regulating broadband is a recipe for
disaster," cries Verizon. "It would impose localized and
likely inconsistent burdens on an inherently interstate
service, would drive up costs, and would frustrate federal
efforts to encourage investment and deployment by restoring
the free market that long characterized Internet access
service."
