Verizon is trying to push through a sweetheart deal with a cartel of cable companies — including Comcast, Cox and Time Warner Cable — to divide up the Internet and kill competition.1
To get high-quality services, lower prices and innovation, we need companies to compete for our business. Yet Verizon and these cable companies want to stop competing and make it harder — and more expensive — for us to get online.
Pick up the phone and tell your member of Congress to investigate this shady deal.
