Verizon switch is proof that Net Neutrality legislation not needed
By: Sonia Arrison 9.28.2007
Verizon originally rejected Naral (pro-choice) cell phone text messages on their system, but the company quickly changed its tune when the news became public. That’s because there is competition in the marketplace and public pressure against non-spam related content filtering made Verizon act faster that it probably has on any other issue in the last year. This is one more example of why Net neutrality advocates should relax and focus their efforts on problems that actually exist, such as the waste and corruption in the Universal Service system.
