Verizon Statement on New York Times Article

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon has issued the following statement in response to a New York Times article on Thursday (Aug. 5) regarding conversations between Google and Verizon:

"The New York Times article regarding conversations between Google and Verizon is mistaken.  It fundamentally misunderstands our purpose. As we said in our earlier FCC filing, our goal is an Internet policy framework that ensures openness and accountability, and incorporates specific FCC authority, while maintaining investment and innovation. To suggest this is a business arrangement between our companies is entirely incorrect."
