Blumenthal Statement On FCC Adoption Of Net Neutrality Rules

(Hartford, CT) – Today, Senator Blumenthal (D-Conn.), member of the Senate Commerce Committee, issued the following statement following the FCC’s adoption of updated open-Internet rules:

“Today's vote is an unequivocal, emphatic victory for consumers and innovators – an occasion all too rare in Washington. I will continue to fight to protect Internet users and entrepreneurs as this debate heads to the Senate, and I look forward to engaging with my colleagues on the Commerce Committee to ensure any updates to the Communications Act strengthen and advance the work of the Commission today. The FCC today set a new high water mark for Internet freedom, free speech and innovation, and I plan to fight to ensure these rules remain in place for years to come.”
