MCCORMICK SAYS NO TO NETWORK NEUTRALITY
Speaking to Washington, D.C.-based First Amendment think tank The Media Institute for the first time, Walter McCormick, president of USTelecom, essentially made an argument against Network Neutrality regulation but without invoking the phrase. And once he did, he likened it to the Federal Communications Commission's Fairness Doctrine for broadcasters, which the commission jettisoned in the 1980s. McCormick said speech was the "killer app" of the broadband revolution, but it would be threatened by over-regulation.
