AT&T's 4 Cents and the Wall Street Journal Link Broadband and Net Neutrality

Each tells a piece of the story about the challenges of trying to achieve the two big tech goals of the incoming Obama team - Net Neutrality and more deployment of broadband. The best strategy for some telecom companies is to realize that they should perhaps try a little harder to adapt to a new climate that will look at the public benefits of broadband and the public responsibilities of private companies.
