Verizon, I “can’t hear you now” when you have your foot in your mouth
I met Juan, the guy who runs BlueJersey.net at the Personal Democracy Forum in NYC a couple of weeks ago. We exchanged a few e-mails about Net Neutrality and he invited me to post on his web site. I try to reach out to anyone in New Jersey that might be an audience for NN and Juan’s community is tuned in to politics in New Jersey as well as issues relating to the Internet; so I’ve had several posts over there.
Yesterday I cross posted a version of a post I put up here; the one that talks about Verizon’s hypocritical press release.
After posting to BlueJersey I noticed that right next to my post was an advertisement from a telco Astroturf operation.
To me this is just another clear example of why the telcos can not be trusted with the future of the internet. Look at how they talk out of both sides of their mouths.
