Lobbyist threatens suits against any state the passes a Net Neutrality law [telecom]
Lobbyist for AT&T and Verizon publishes a threat to "aggressively" sue any states that pass net neutrality laws
Jonathan Spalter is the CEO of Ustelecom, a telcoms lobby group funded by AT&T and Verizon; in an op-ed on the lobbyists' site, he threatened to "aggressively" sue any state that passes net neutrality rules.
Much of Spalter's editorial consists of a hymn to federalism, in which he repeatedly asserts that states do not have the right to make telcoms policy, because that is the exclusive province of the federal government.
