[title] => Public Knowledge Praises Kohl Letter On Verizon/Cable Deal
[body] =>
The
following is attributed to Gigi B. Sohn, president and CEO of Public Knowledge:
“Senate
Antitrust Subcommittee Chairman Kohl hit all the right points in the letter he
sent this morning to the Justice Department and the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC).
“He
correctly perceives the dangers of large companies accumulating spectrum
resources to strengthen their own market position and hurt competition, and
that even Verizon’s offer to sell spectrum would not improve the competitive
situation in a concentrated wireless market.
“He
is also right to point out the ‘serious competition issues’ raised by the joint
marketing and joint technology agreements between Verizon and the cable
companies, noting the ‘implicit promise’ that Verizon will cease competing for
video customers and the concerns that the agreements will turn Verizon and
cable from competitors into business partners.
“Chairman
Kohl was right to raise serious issues surrounding AT&T’s proposed takeover
of T-Mobile and he is right again now to raise serious issues surrounding
Verizon and the cable companies.
The DoJ and FCC would be wise to pay attention.”
