Google, Amazon, Microsoft and others take a stand against FCC
- dragonwriter 12y agoThe headline says that it is a stand against the FCC, but the substance of the article is that the coalition is promoting the value of the open internet without endorsing any specific policy. The FCC is also arguing for the value of the open internet, and preparing specific policy designed to support that. What the letter actually takes a stand against is rumors that the FCC chair has already both denied and said would be bad policy about the content of the proposal that is under discussion. So, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft are standing "against" the FCC by taking the same stance that the FCC Chair has taken, in opposition to a stance that it was rumored that the FCC Chair was taking.
