STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER MIGNON L. CLYBURN
ON OPEN INTERNET ANNOUNCEMENT
“I applaud Chairman Wheeler for announcing a path forward to ensure a free and open Internet.  
The Commission must act expeditiously to adopt clear, enforceable rules that protect the 
openness of the Internet while continuing to promote innovation and investment.  I am also 
pleased that the Chairman announced that the Commission will look for opportunities to enhance 
broadband competition including examining restrictions on the ability of municipalities to offer 
broadband -- restrictions that I have long advocated be eliminated.  I look forward to working 
with the Chairman on these important issues.”
