Former Verizon Attorney, Close Ties to ALEC. Rewrote the history of broadband and never mentioned that AT&T never delivered the fiber optic services in his home state—Kansas—but had state laws changed to charge phone customers for the ‘transition’. |

| ALEC et al. |
AT&T, Verizon control through ALEC and funding politicians. Model legislation is created that mimics the FCC’s plans, and then it goes to state-based politicians, funded by the companies, to pass the bills. |
