Obama Weighs In To Favor Net Neutrality
President Obama, saying he is fulfilling a promise he made during his 2008 presidential campaign, stepped onto the “net neutrality” battlefield on Nov. 10 by releasing a statement (complete with video) calling on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to adopt rules that prevent Internet service providers from charging more for faster online access and that “protect net neutrality.” See, “Net Neutrality: President Obama's Plan for a Free and Open Internet.” The President's statement comes just before the FCC needs to publish revised rules and follows the Commission's request for public comment in May. The FCC had to create new rules since its attempt to revise the current rules to allow for net neutrality was struck down by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in January.
“'Net neutrality' has been built into the fabric of the Internet since its creation ' but it is also a principle that we cannot take for granted. We cannot allow Internet service providers (ISPs) to restrict the best access or to pick winners and losers in the online marketplace for services and ideas,” the President says in the statement.
