Shareholders of AT&T Inc. have filed a proposal calling for the company “to publicly commit to operate its wireless broadband network consistent with network neutrality principles” that would maintain open access to the Internet on wireless networks.
The filing comes only weeks before implementation of new Federal Communications Commission rules on network neutrality that provide a broad exemption for wireless broadband networks – the fastest growing segment of the Internet.
Here's the complete text of a proposal introduced by AT&T shareholders for consideration at the company's annual meeting in April 2012.
The senators advocate for a shareholder opportunity to "tell corporate boards that net neutrality is an important issue and telecommunications companies should ensure equal, nondiscriminatory access to all content on their networks."
