Why We Fight for Internet Freedom

[Commentary] I love the Internet industry, because what we do is important. Our customers build their dreams atop our infrastructure, and their dreams are literally changing the world -- for the better, in my view.

It’s not enough for companies like ours to fight regulation of our industry. It’s important we do that, because doing so keeps the Internet free and open, drives innovation and keeps costs low and options high for our customers. But we need to walk the walk on solving the hard problems of the Internet if we are to prove ourselves responsible netizens capable of self-policing.

The Internet ecosystem, which includes providers like us and all kinds of other groups, needs to prove that it can self-police if it wants to maintain control of its own destiny.
