Subject: Ex-Verizon Employee Must Turn Over Tax Returns in Race Bias
Suit
* Relevant to company's damages mitigation, offset defenses
* Judge rejects 'heightened' test used by other federal courts
Verizon Wireless can review the tax returns of a former employee suing
for alleged race discrimination and retaliation because the infor-
mation is relevant to the company's defenses and requiring her to
produce it is proportional to the needs of the case, the District of
Utah ruled.

Subject: AT&T CEO seems confident industry can kill Biden's
municipal broadband plan
CEO thinks US will keep giving billions to private ISPs instead of
public networks.
By Jon Brodkin
AT&T CEO John Stankey yesterday called President Biden's plan to fund
municipal broadband networks "misguided" and said the US shouldn't pay
for any broadband deployment in areas that already have networks. But
as AT&T and other ISPs lobby against public networks and government-
funded competition, Stankey said he is confident that Congress will
steer legislation in the more "pragmatic" direction that AT&T favors.
In an interview with The Economic Club of Washington, DC, Stankey was
asked, "Do you support the president's proposal to have municipalities
own broadband facilities?" Stankey responded, "I think actually the
president's proposal is probably a bit misguided in that regard."
