Remarks by FCC Commissioner O'Rielly at the LinkIDAHO 2014 Broadband Summit

The current broadband rollout and availability has been an incredible success story. Nevertheless the [Federal Communications Commission] seems intent on changing course. Rather than upend years of progress, I have six recommendations to promote investment and innovation within the successful framework that exists today.

  1. Stop Any Net Neutrality Rules
  2. Remove Unnecessary Burdens
  3. Complete the Reforms Already In the Works
  4. Don’t Change Program Requirements Midstream
  5. Don’t Duplicate Broadband Infrastructure
  6. Establish and Stay Within a Clear Budget for Universal Service
