Sprint breaks ranks with other ISPs on net neutrality

18 Jan 2015 • engadget.com

GigaOm points out a letter to the FCC from Sprint (PDF) saying that it doesn’t think the application of Title II classification under the Communications act (treating internet like a utility, like phone service) will cause any problems. Stephen Bye, Sprint’s Chief Technology Officer writes that “Sprint will continue to invest in data networks regardless of whether they are regulated by Title II, Section 706, or some other light touch regulatory regime” – supporting what most net neutrality advocates, including the President, are pushing for.

Well, now. Maybe Sprint isn’t so bad after all. Too bad their network is still so tiny.
