Charter vows to uphold network neutrality as it seeks Time Warner Cable deal

Tom Rutledge, who is Charter's current chief executive, pledged that New Charter would keep away from data caps and some of Comcast's unpopular business tactics. "Through Charter, we’ll offer consumers a broadband product that makes watching online video, gaming, and engaging in other data-hungry applications a great experience, including at peak times," said Rutledge. He also said that Charter will steer clear of paid prioritization -- even if the Federal Communications Commission's new network neutrality rules are ultimately defeated in court by broadband providers. Charter will "not block, throttle, or engage in paid prioritization of Internet traffic," Rutledge said.
