COMMISSIONER CLYBURN APPLAUDS CHAIRMAN GENACHOWSKI’S 
STATEMENT ON NET NEUTRALITY
Washington, DC – Federal Communications Commissioner Mignon L. Clyburn issued 
the following statement today in support of Chairman Julius Genachowski’s speech on network 
neutrality at the Brookings Institution earlier in the day:
“I fully support Chairman Genachowski’s intention to take affirmative measures to preserve the 
openness of the Internet.  The Chairman’s statement today is an important first step in setting 
forth clear rules of the road that will ensure the Internet’s continued vibrancy.  As a former small 
business owner, I am keenly aware of how an open and transparent Internet can serve as an 
equalizing force for new entrants to the marketplace.  I look forward to working with the 
Chairman and my fellow Commissioners to move expeditiously on this issue of great importance 
to the country.”
