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.

Greetings, I believe your site may be having web browser compatibility problems. Whenever I look at your site in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in I.E., it has some overlapping issues. I simply wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other than that, wonderful blog!

Having read this I thought it was very informative. I appreciate you spending some time and effort to put this information together. I once again find myself spending a significant amount of time both reading and posting comments. But so what, it was still worth it!

Thank Gawd, Im sick and tired of these countries trnyig to police the internet, when the internet is free from any jurisdiction and/or law body. Its just disgusting how something that no man or enterprise should own get's treated as if the only way we can access it through it is a bottlenecking throttleing ISP. True access to the internetwork would be free with your own cabled services from the exchange! If we have the technical knowledge, why can we not cable and manage our own connections potentially we could all have 1000 mbps fibre connections rather than 50MBPS fibre WTH, most fibre = 1gbps per second +, and we're only offered 50 100 mbps ?!

An interesting discussion is definitely worth comment. There's no doubt that that you should write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but typically folks don't speak about such topics. To the next! Cheers!!
