Now this is rich: An AT&T executive says Netflix CEO’s Net Neutrality advocacy is “arrogant”
James Cicconi, top executive for AT&T, has condemned Netflix CEO Reed Hastings’ day-old blog post advocating for stronger Net Neutrality rules. In a sneering response, he wrote, “Mr. Hastings’ arrogant proposition is that everyone else should pay but Netflix. That may be a nice deal if he can get it.” The lobbyist, whose fancy official title is Senior Executive Vice President of Legislative Affairs, neglected to mention that Netflix, as well as Netflix’s customers, already pay AT&T and other telephone companies a lot of money for Internet access.
