The following is
attributed to Art Brodsky, communications director for Public
Knowledge:
“Verizon should
be commended for recognizing so quickly the mistake it made in
proposing a $2 ‘convenience fee’ for its customers who wanted to pay
their bills in the same way in which they make online purchases all
the time. Verizon dropped the fee a day after proposing it.
“Now attention
can continue to focus on Verizon’s campaign to eliminate competition
for high-speed Internet access through its joint marketing deal with
major cable companies. The Justice Department is right to
investigate that arrangement.”
