1.D.2: Net Neutrality
Assure net neutrality to preserve the freedom and openness of Internet access. Other Information:
The Internet is the ultimate level playing field, making possible the widest and most lucrative variety of entrepreneurial
activity and innovation that the world has ever seen. FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski announced on September 21st that providers
of Internet access should not discriminate against lawful applications or content. We want to make sure it remains possible
for anyone to start a business in a garage that creates new jobs, new ideas, and new opportunities for Americans. Our nation’s
economy is increasingly dependent on the Internet; the Internet is an essential infrastructure, like roads and electricity;
and the global leadership that America provides today stems directly from historic policies that have ensured that telecommunications
networks are open to all lawful uses by all users. That’s the way the Internet has always worked, and we want it to stay that
way – not because we treasure our past, but because we care about our economic future.
