The following statement may be attributed to Bob Quinn, AT&T Senior Vice President-Federal Regulatory and Chief Privacy Officer:
“I want to congratulate Jessica Rosenworcel and Ajit Pai for their White House nominations to become FCC Commissioners. We have had the pleasure of working with both nominees in the past and they possess the experience, expertise and enthusiasm for public service that will serve them well as they navigate today’s communications policy challenges. We look forward to working with them at the agency once they are confirmed by the Senate.
“Both nominees will have large shoes to fill at the FCC. The announcement last night reminds us all that Commissioner Copps’ long, distinguished tenure at the FCC is coming to an end. We have climbed many hills with Commissioner Copps as he likes to say. Personally and professionally, I always enjoyed the candid dialog and friendship with the Commissioner and the great people with whom he surrounded himself.”

In October, when most people are thinking of pumpkins and changing leaves, we’re thinking of cybersecurity and we’re not alone. Joining with other members of the industry, government and non-profit organizations, we’re celebrating National Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
Earlier today, I participated in the official kickoff event for the month, the 2011 Michigan Cyber Summit, which AT&T sponsored. The event was hosted by Governor Rick Snyder and included speakers such as Secretary Janet Napolitano, White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt, and Congressmen John Dingell, Mike Rogers, and Hansen Clarke.
The theme for this year, which was echoed throughout the event, is “shared responsibility” – everyone can play a role in helping our cyberspace stay secure. We agree and that’s why we not only work hard to keep our networks safe, but we make sure consumers have the information and tools they need as well to help themselves stay safe online.

Thousands of small business owners and their supporters recently descended upon Washington, D.C., for the 48th annual U.S. Small Business Administration’s National Small Business Week to honor and recognize the contributions and achievements made by outstanding entrepreneurs. This year’s theme of empowering entrepreneurs couldn’t be more appropriate, as I had the good fortune to be there and witness government agencies, thought leaders and enterprises come together to offer support and provide small companies with the resources, tools and technologies they need to work better, faster, smarter and more efficiently.
Here at AT&T, we are dedicated to supporting the needs of small businesses and we participated in many events throughout the week to demonstrate that support. From our sponsorship and collaboration with SCORE for the “Growing Your Business While on the Go” workshop, to providing insights during the Exporting Forum, we had the chance to engage with small business owners and hear first-hand how technology is enabling these companies to thrive.
