>      In a letter and white paper sent last week to the FCC (pdf),
>    Verizon insists the FCC has ample authority to pre-empt state
>    efforts to protect consumer privacy, and should act to prevent
>    states from doing so.  "Allowing every State and locality to
>    chart its own course for regulating broadband is a recipe for
>    disaster," cries Verizon. "It would impose localized and
>    likely inconsistent burdens on an inherently interstate
>    service, would drive up costs, and would frustrate federal
>    efforts to encourage investment and deployment by restoring
>    the free market that long characterized Internet access
>    service."
