However, common ground exists. All sides agree that we want to keep the internet free, open, and vibrant. I believe that under Chairman Pai’s leadership, this is again possible. The FCC’s vote to restore a light-touch to the internet should also kick-start the legislative process in Congress. I am eager to get to work and pass a long-term solution that will protect the internet, encourage innovation, boost investment, and close the digital divide.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
