Net Netrality Mouthpiece Fortune Looks At PR Battle http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/76624
With the battle lines already drawn, the Net Neutrality debate is now a PR juggernaut for all sides. Fortune's Stephanie Mehta thinks the telcos and cable concerns have fallen behind in delivering their message and may need a new mouthpiece to replace Ed Whitacre. Mehtas's nomination for the role is Citizens Communication's Maggie Wilderotter. A former manager at Microsoft, Wilderotter has worked both sides of the imaginary fence, she feels that the Net Neutrality adversaries "can figure out ways to work together." She also believes the dispute should be worked out in conference rooms, not on Capitol Hill. "Legislation should be a last resort." But she also toes the incumbent line. "Someone needs to ask Google what its real intention is here," Wilderotter stated. "It is easy to put yourself in the content camp and tie the other guys up in a regulatory box while you secretly develop a whole access network to go after their customers."
