Netflix believes that achieving strong net neutrality is critical to maintaining a vibrant, open Internet to promote free expression, diversity of content, and continued innovation. ISPs should not impede, favor, or charge Internet services that consumers choose to use.

To prevent this, the Commission should adopt clear enforceable anti-discrimination and no-blocking rules for the last mile. The Commission’s proposal does little to protect the open Internet.

Following ISPs to monetize congestion will likely create more congestion, threatening the current model that has made the Internet so successful, and likely raising barriers for innovative services.

Title II provides a solid basis to adopt prohibitions on blocking and unreasonable discrimination by ISPs.
