Incoming White House Chief of Staff William Daley's history in the telecom industry has some supporter of the FCC’s net neutrality rules concerned, according to a report in The Hill. Dailey served as president of SBC Communications before it acquired AT&T and took the “smaller” company's name. Saying that AT&T was a smaller company tells you just how big SBC really was.
One of those supporters is Free Press:
"[I]With Daley at his side, how long will it be before Obama caves?[/I]" Tim Karr, Free Press campaign director, wrote in the Huffington Post on Saturday.
Opponents of net neutrality, including Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), think that Dailey’s influence in the White House on this particular issue is a good thing: [URL=http://www.gamepolitics.com/2011/01/11/daley039s-atampt-ties-worry-net-neutrality-supporters][B][COLOR=#8e0505]Read More[/COLOR][/B][/URL]
