Sen Kerry Renews Call For Open Net Rules

While encouraging the two sides to continue to engage in constructive talks on the issue, Senate Commerce Communications Subcommittee Chairman John Kerry (D-MA) renewed his call for the FCC to use the authority it currently has to ensure the openness of the Internet.

"I remain open to and am actively working on a legislative solution to ensure that law reflects the growing consensus that the open Internet must be preserved and promoted, but I also believe that the FCC has the authority, ability, and responsibility to use its regulatory authority under existing law to preserve Internet freedom with or without a new law," Sen Kerry said.
