WASHINGTON, June 8 /PRNewswire/ -- BACKGROUND -- The U.S. House of
Representatives today passed the Communications Opportunity,
Promotion and Enhancement Act of 2006. The following statement may
be attributed to Herschel Abbott, BellSouth (NYSE:BLS) vice
president governmental affairs: "We congratulate and thank Chairman
Barton and Representative Rush for shepherding this legislation
through the House. We look forward to Senate action so that
legislation can be signed by the President this year. "Completion
of video franchise legislation will allow faster rollout of a video
service that can provide another competitive alternative to cable,
offering the kind of customer service and quality that customers
demand. "Given the amount of debate over so called 'net neutrality'
during consideration of this bill, let me again assure consumers
that BellSouth will not block or degrade access to any legal
content on the internet. Net neutrality is a phony issue and it
ought to be laid to rest by today's vote." DATASOURCE: BellSouth
