Chairman Pai Statement On Letter From Municipal Broadband Providers

May 11, the Federal Communications Commission received an exceptionally important contribution to the debate over restoring Internet freedom. Nineteen non-profit, government-owned Internet service providers expressed their support for my proposal to end utility-style regulation of Internet service providers based on Title II.... The fact that ISPs lacking any profit motive agree that eliminating Title II regulation will benefit consumers and promote innovation and investment is a powerful endorsement of reversing the FCC’s 2015 Title II Order.
