Moody's ratings agency warns the proposal by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to impose privacy restrictions on broadband providers, such as Charter Communications, Comcast, Verizon Communications and AT&T was "credit-negative" as it would "severely" handicap their ability to compete with digital advertisers such as Google and Facebook. These digital advertisers are regulated by the Federal Trade Commission, under a softer standard than the proposed rule by the FCC.
