What we know about the FCC ruling on "Net Neutrality"

The Federal Communications Commission has approved new rules dealing with the issue of “net neutrality.”

“It will take some time for everyone involved to fully examine and understand Tuesday’s FCC’s ruling,” said Gary Shorman, Eagle Communications President. “Our employee owners remain committed to preserving an open Internet, providing quality customer service, and meeting the everyday needs of our customers and we will continue to work constructively with our broadband partners, the FCC, and Congress on these issues.”

The new regulations may not have an immediate impact on the every day Web access by consumers as it may have on their Internet use in the near future.

The new rules — which haven't been released in full — state that land-line broadband providers can't block legal content from websites, or "unreasonably discriminate" against companies that want to use broadband networks to provide video or voice services. They also require that broadband providers give consumers more information about their Internet service, like actual download speeds or usage limits.

Please know that Eagle will keep you posted on how this ruling will affect the communities we serve.

Athlete Sightings in Hays...

KU Football star Todd Reesing, was in the Eagle Customer Care Center at Dillons in Hays recently for a book signing. Here he is with Eagle Customer Care Representatives Alicia Hammeke, Alissa Tonniges, and Bobie Jennings (along with Bobie's niece Kadalen).

Arrivals in the Abilene Office....

We just got the most wonderful plate of holiday goodies from Abilene Memorial Health System Marketing Department.  One of the cutest little treats was this little chocolate covered cherry mouse. It obviously took someone a lot of time and effort to make those.  All the treats were to die for, but this little mouse guy was just the cutest thing ever.

All of the staff at the Eagle Abilene office wanted to extend a great big THANK YOU to the Abilene Memorial Health System for the wonderful gesture.

Happy Holidays!

Happy Cyber Monday!

We hope you enjoyed good food and fellowship with friends and family on Thanksgiving. We enjoyed the day off and from talking to everyone around the office, we've all gained a few pounds over the past few days!

If you sign up for any Eagle service (Television, Internet, Phone) by the end of business today, we'll give you free rental of an HD Digital Video Recorder for one full year.
