Cisco Weighs In on the Arm’s Race Legislation (Net Neutrality)


An extract from Cisco’s letter to congress, Cisco on net neutrality, reads as follows,

“We strongly support the principle of an open Internet,” Cisco CEO John Chambers wrote in a letter to Congressman Joe Barton, who chairs the House Energy and Commerce Committee. “We must, however, balance the fact that innovation inside the network is just as important as innovation in services and devices connected to the Internet. Broadband Internet access service providers should remain free to engage in pro-competitive network management techniques to alleviate congestion, ameliorate capacity constraints and enable new services.”

I cannot help but think a good arms trading company would issue an identical statement on arm sales limiting legislation.
