“Approval of these mergers undermines more than 20 years of efforts to introduce competition into the residential local and long distance telecommunications market. The FCC promises cross-technology competition with Internet phone service on cable and telephone systems, but the Commission has failed to ensure that consumers will receive meaningful choices at fair prices.”
“I think we are on a slippery slope to something that hopefully will be much better for consumers. Consumers could wind up with more choices and more control over what they spend and what they get.”
“The government has been deceived before by promises that somehow more concentration would produce more choices and competition, when the result has been just the opposite. It shouldn't be fooled again.”
“Congress and federal regulators need to look carefully at the lifeless 'competition' their flawed policies have created and reject this merger. The government has been deceived before by promises that somehow more concentration would produce more choices and competition, when the result has been just the opposite. It shouldn't be fooled again.”
