  • spoken out against Google's 'Google Voice' Service asking FCC to make it a standard calling offering and not an Internet service
  • Hands Off the Internet: a nationwide coalition of Internet users, manufacturers and network operators united in the belief that the Net’s phenomenal growth over the past decade will continue if government does not attempt an unwise effort to regulate a market that is otherwise working to give consumers the choices, freedom, prices and diverse experiences they desire in the new age of the Internet.
