US Telecom's McCormick: Network Neutrality Rules Have Had No Effect

US Telecom President Walter McCormick says that he has seen no impact from the Federal Communications Commission's network neutrality rules either on his members or on competition.

In an interview for C-SPAN's The Communicators series, McCormick was asked whether he thought the DC Circuit would overturn the rules. He said he was not sure, but that in any event he thought the industry had, for a decade, been operating in "complete conformance" with the FCC's open Internet principles, including not blocking or degrading. He said that given the amount of competition today, "no company is going to change the terms of service for its consumers."
