WASHINGTON: Verizon Communications Inc on Wednesday reasserted that it was not planning to strike any Internet "fast lane" deals that would help some websites load faster than others, in a letter to a top US Senate Judiciary Committee lawmaker.
The committee's chairman, Sen. Patrick Leahy, last week wrote to top US Internet service providers (ISPs) urging them to formally commit to no so-called "paid prioritisation" deals in which content companies could pay ISPs to ensure smooth and fast delivery of their traffic.
