MEDIA STATEMENT: TRAC APPLAUDS FCC DECISION TO ENGAGE IN A NOTICE OF INQUIRY REGARDING NETWORK NEUTRALITY

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The following statement is attributable to the Telecommunications Research and Action Center (TRAC):

“TRAC applauds the Federal Communications Commission’s decision to engage in a formal Notice of Inquiry on issues related to the type and nature of openness mandates for the Internet. The Internet has dramatically changed the landscape of American society. It has shifted power from the few to the many and continues to do so. TRAC urges the FCC to also closely monitor the Internet and to be prepared to act quickly in the event of any abuses during this process. However, we urge the Commission to move cautiously before imposing any additional detailed regulation on the Internet.”
