Ron Burgundy Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 By Marina Lopes NEW YORK (Reuters) - AT&T on Friday dismissed Netflix's recent call for free interconnection as an arrogant and unfair attempt to force others to pay for the content provider to gain access to faster broadband speeds and better services. Someone has to pay that cost," Jim Cicconi, AT&T's senior executive vice president for external and legislative affairs wrote in a company blog post. "Mr. Hastings' arrogant proposition is that everyone else should pay but Netflix," he said. The post was a rebuttal to comments published by Netflix Chief Executive Reed Hastings on Thursday calling for greater protections for open Internet rules, also known as net neutrality, which require Internet service providers to give consumers equal access to all lawful content without restrictions or tiered charges.
