In 2004, then-FCC Chairman Powell challenged broadband service providers to preserve four “Internet Freedoms”:
-
Freedom to Access Content. Consumers should have access to their choice of legal content.
-
Freedom to Use Applications. Consumers should be able to run applications of their choice.
-
Freedom to Attach Personal Devices. Consumers should be permitted to attach any devices they choose to the connection in their homes.
-
Freedom to Obtain Service Plan Information. Consumers should receive meaningful information regarding their service plans.
