Florida Chamber of Commerce Supports AT&T/DirecTV Deal

The Florida Chamber of Commerce backs AT&T's planned buy of DirecTV. Enhanced Internet connectivity "helps to create more opportunities for businesses and families through jobs and economic growth," it said in a letter posted Tuesday in FCC docket 14-90. Too many people don't have access to the speeds and bandwidth needed for today's competitive economy, it said. AT&T is committed to offering new, competitive choices for consumer options upon approval of this deal, it said.
