Debunking Chairman Pai's Claims about Net Neutrality Prepared by the Office of FCC Commissioner Clyburn

As an unwavering champion of network neutrality, FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn believes in setting the record straight. Chairman Pai made a number of claims and predictions in his dissent from the FCC’s 2015 Open Internet Order.

Chairman Pai: The 2015 Open Internet Order seizes unilateral authority to regulate Internet conduct, to direct where Internet service providers put their investments, and to determine what service plans will be available to the American public.
False. The Order in fact kept your broadband provider from blocking, throttling (slowing down), paving tollways on their network or at the point of interconnection, and interfering with the ability of content and customers to reach one another. No regulation of the Internet writ large (this is clear and obvious), no investment prescription, and no service plan determinations.

Chairman Pai: It is a radical departure from the bipartisan, market-oriented policies that have served us so well for the past few decades.
False. In fact, Republican Chairmen have supported substantive net neutrality protections, that is, up until this Administration.
