CHAIRMAN KEVIN J. MARTIN’S STATEMENT REGARDING THE THIRD CIRCUIT’S 
DECISION AFFIRMING THE WIRELINE BROADBAND ORDER
The statement below regarding the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in 
Time Warner Telecom, Inc. et al., v. FCC may be attributed to FCC Chairman Kevin J. Martin:
"I am pleased that the Court affirmed the FCC’s decision to remove outdated, decades-old 
regulations from today’s broadband services.  By removing such regulations, the Commission 
encouraged broadband investment and fostered competition.  As a result of the Commission's 
deregulatory policies, broadband adoption has increased and consumers have benefited in the 
form of lower prices and improved broadband service."
