Statement Attributable to Steve Gaut, V-P UPS Public Relations

“A UPS official recently attended a group meeting with the FCC which included a discussion of the company’s position on “terminating access monopolies”. The UPS official’s presence at this meeting was erroneously linked to the broader issue of net neutrality in an article published by Bloomberg BusinessWeek on November 14, 2014. The company’s spokesperson made it clear to the reporter that UPS has not taken a position for or against net neutrality. Unfortunately, the reporter inaccurately portrayed UPS involvement in the meeting with the FCC in a way that guided the reader to believe UPS is part of the broader net neutrality debate. Subsequently, advocates for both sides of the argument have swept UPS into the debate without directly inquiring about the company’s position.

To be clear: UPS takes no position on net neutrality and it should not be reported that the company has taken any position on the issue.”
