U.S. Internet Service Providers Alliance (USISPA) told Congress Thurs. that further deregulation of Bell companies would create more denial of service to American Internet users. Coalition, composed of 800 ISPs, was formed to “educate federal policymakers on the real risks of what the Bell companies are proposing and to warn them that further deregulation will only deepen an already growing consumer crisis,” it said. Phone monopolies are “holding the infrastructure hostage,” USISPA said, infuriating consumers who want high-speed Internet access. What’s needed is not more laws, group said, but better enforcement of those already on books.
