Government Run Amok!

   I wanted to call your attention to an issue in Connecticut that has alarming implications for small businesses - and is a glaring example of government run amok!

   In a surprising announcement, the state's Department of Public Utility Control ,(DPUC) rejected AT&T's applicaiton to continue to provide its new video service, AT&T U-verse TV.  If this ruling is not reversed, it has the potential of costing jobs and much needed investments - not to mention that countless households will no longer have a choice in video service.

   As small business owners, we understand first hand how government regulations should encourage competition - not discourage it.   Government should create a healthy environment so all companies flourish.   Businesses and consumers benefit by more innovation and competitive pricing that follows.  

   We strongly encourage the DPUC and the Connecticut Attorney General to reverse course on this issue.   Read what others are saying here.
