STATEMENT OF
COMMISSIONER MICHAEL J. COPPS
ON VERIZON-GOOGLE ANNOUNCEMENT
“Some will claim this announcement moves the discussion forward.  That’s one of its 
many problems.  It is time to move a decision forward—a decision to reassert FCC authority 
over broadband telecommunications, to guarantee an open Internet now and forever, and to put 
the interests of consumers in front of the interests of giant corporations.”
