Rep. Matsui Statement on FCC Network Neutrality Framework
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congresswoman Doris Matsui (D-CA), a Member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, issued the following statement regarding the “Open Internet Order” put forward by Federal Communications Commission Chairman (FCC) Julius Genachowski at the agency’s December meeting: “I applaud Chairman Genachowski’s efforts to move forward on a framework that enforces core Net Neutrality rules to help ensure consumers have access to a free and open Internet. I believe this is a step in the right direction, and that this will create a path to strengthen Net Neutrality rules in the future. “I will continue to monitor the FCC’s proceedings moving forward. As more and more Americans rely on the Internet for information and communications, it is imperative that they have access to all available content.”
