Frontier Communications Statement Regarding Net Neutrality

Business Wire
The following statement may be attributed to Frontier
Communications Chairman and CEO Maggie Wilderotter:
“Over the last four years, Frontier has invested more than $2.8
billion to provide broadband, voice, and video services to our
customers. Our network delivers valued services across our 28
states and offers unfettered access to the Internet. Despite this
private capital commitment, some 'net neutrality' instigators are
urging regulators to adopt rules for the Internet based on an
outdated and burdensome 20th century regulatory framework. The
Internet, which has thrived under a light touch regulatory
approach, will stagnate under a regime developed for monopoly
common carrier providers.
“Frontier embraces the existing industry-supported framework for
an open Internet and supports transparency because we believe a
fully-informed customer is the best customer. We do not block or
degrade customer access to content and we have no fast lanes. Yet
we find that 'net neutrality' advocates are urging new rules and
regulations that will drive up our costs, create uncertainty, deter
investment and degrade the customer Internet experience. This is
exactly the wrong approach for our country as we rely on innovation
to create jobs and we face a challenging global economic
environment.”
