Commissioner Mignon Clyburn of the Federal Communications Commission says every route should be pursued to restore network neutrality rules, from the courts to Congress. But she didn't say which she thought would be most likely to succeed because she thinks "it's important for all of the sectors and these points and these avenues to be addressed," she said.

Commissioner Clyburn has to leave the agency by the end of 2018 because her term ended last summer. Clyburn is coming to the end of a nine-year tenure at the FCC, but she's going out rallying the troops.She hasn't said exactly what she'll do next — but said that it will tap into her longtime interest in issues that affect marginalized communities. She said that "you’re going to see or hear about me doing some things that will be a part of attempting to equalize opportunities to allow those who don’t have a voice to be heard and included. That part of me is not going to turn off when I walk out of the FCC.” "All of us have chapters in our lives," she said, "and it’s what you do in between taking an oath and walking out the door that’s made the difference."
