Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW – Lobby Level Washington, DC 20554 Re: Protecting And Promoting The Open Internet, GN Docket No. 14-28 Dear Ms. Dortch: On Friday, May 2, 2014, Christopher Heiman, General Attorney, and I met with Rebekah Goodheart, Legal Adviser to Commissioner Clyburn. During the meeting, we discussed the above proceeding and the forthcoming NPRM. During our conversation, we reiterated AT&T’s commitment to an Open Internet. In compliance with the 2010 FCC Order, we posted on our website “Information About the Network Practices, Performance Characteristics & Commercial Terms of AT&T's Mass Market Broadband Internet Access Services” (accessible at www.att.com , click on the “Broadband Information” at the bottom of the page) which describes in detail our network management practices that comply with the rules set forth in the 2010 FCC Open Internet Order. Those practices are fully compliant with the FCC’s Open Internet principles and with the rules that were vacated in Verizon v. FCC. As we articulated in our Comments filed in this docket, we believe the Verizon Court articulated a path for the FCC to adopt rules to replace the ones vacated in that proceeding and encouraged the FCC top act in accordance with that direction. We also stated that we disagreed with those commentators who are urging the FCC to adopt 20 th Century, monopoly-era voice regulations for broadband services. Pursuant to section 1.1206 of the Commission’s rules, this letter is being filed electronically with your office for inclusion in the public record of the above referenced proceeding. If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Robert W. Quinn, Jr.

Dear Ms. Dortch:
On Friday, May 2, 2014, Christopher Heiman, General Attorney, and I met with Rebekah Goodheart, Legal Adviser to Commissioner Clyburn. During the meeting, we discussed the above proceeding and the forthcoming NPRM.
During our conversation, we reiterated AT&T’s commitment to an Open Internet. In compliance with the 2010 FCC Order, we posted on our website “Information About the Network Practices, Performance Characteristics & Commercial Terms of AT&T's Mass Market Broadband Internet Access Services” (accessible at www.att.com, click on the “Broadband Information” at the bottom of the page) which describes in detail our network management practices that comply with the rules set forth in the 2010 FCC Open Internet Order. Those practices are fully compliant with the FCC’s Open Internet principles and with the rules that were vacated in Verizon v. FCC. As we articulated in our Comments filed in this docket, we believe the Verizon Court articulated a path for the FCC to adopt rules to replace the ones vacated in that proceeding and encouraged the FCC top act in accordance with that direction. We also stated that we disagreed with those commentators who are urging the FCC to adopt 20th Century, monopoly-era voice regulations for broadband services.
Pursuant to section 1.1206 of the Commission’s rules, this letter is being filed electronically with
your office for inclusion in the public record of the above referenced proceeding. If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Robert W. Quinn, Jr.
