WTA Files Comments on Open Internet Proceeding

Today, WTA filed comments in response to the FCC’s NPRM on Protecting and Promoting the Open Internet. Specifically, “WTA opposes the proposed new enhanced transparency requirements because their potential informational benefits are outweighed by the significant drain they impose upon RLEC financial and staff resources that are urgently needed to invest in broadband infrastructure and to deploy new Internet Protocol services, particularly at a time when federal high cost support is stagnant and uncertain and intercarrier compensation is decreasing.”
