Verizon Wants Protection On Surveillance

VERIZON WANTS PROTECTION ON SURVEILLANCE
[SOURCE: Technology Daily, AUTHOR: Winter Casey]
Companies that cooperate with government in anti-terrorism surveillance programs should be given some legal protection, said Verizon's Tom Tauke. On another front, Tauke said he does not think telecommunications policy is a big concern for U.S. consumers right now, so there is no urgent cry for federal telecom legislation. However, he said Congress could pay attention to the issue of high-speed Internet deployment in less attractive areas, to the universal service fund, and to fostering electronic health records.
