Net neutrality protections prevent internet service providers (ISPs) from favoring certain websites and internet companies over others. Without net neutrality rules, ISPs can require websites and internet companies to pay more money for faster internet service or restrict certain content all together. Eliminating net neutrality protections would increase costs for small businesses and consumers, while threatening the vitality and innovation of the internet. See below for a full copy of the letter. * * * December 13, 2017 The Honorable Ajit V. Pai Chairman Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Dear Chairman Pai: We write to you today regarding the “Restoring Internet Freedom” item, WC Docket No. 17-108, on the Federal Communication Commission’s December Open Meeting Agenda. We urge you to delay consideration of this item and remove it from the December agenda. Thank you for your attention to this important request. Sincerely, ###	1	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z
