AT&T CEO: Big Tech Should Pay Its Fair Share

WASHINGTON, June 26, 2024 ­– A major U.S. communications company continues to call on Big Tech to support a federal subsidy program that keeps millions of Americans connected to the internet.

“The seven largest and most profitable companies in the world built their franchises on the internet and the infrastructure we provide,” said AT&T CEO John Stankey. “Why shouldn’t they participate in ensuring affordable and equitable access to the services of today that are just as indispensable as the phone lines of yesteryear.”
