Verizon launched their tech/telecom policy blog this week. According to the site, PoliBlog seeks to:
"to encourage intelligent discussion of public p olicy issues affecting the telecommunications industry and Verizon in particular. We will do this by posting our own points of view regularly, engaging in conversation with other posters who offer fact-based comments and reacting to the relevant ongoing blogosphere conversation. While no telecommunications subject is considered off-limits, we will focus on policy issues that have implications for the greatest number of companies and consumers."
Interestingly, no mention yet on their views on where net neutrality stands, for that matter, any comment on this wistful piece from Salon that has a subhead that reads:
"In the Capitol Hill battle over Net neutrality, a ragtag army of grass-roots Internet groups, armed with low-budget videos, music parodies and petitions, have the corporate telecoms, and their allies in Congress, on the run."
Our old (but relevant) take on net advocasy and net neutrality is here.
"engaging in conversation with other posters who offer fact-based comments"
No flaming. And we decide what the facts are.
"we will focus on policy issues that have implications for the greatest number of companies and consumers."
No bitching about your phone bill.
