STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER BRENDAN CARR 
 
 WASHINGTON, May 16, 2018—Americans cherish the free and open Internet.  They want 
more choices and greater competition.  They want better, faster, and cheaper Internet access. 
 
               At the FCC, we are focused on policies that will deliver those results.  We are cutting billions of 
dollars’ worth of red tape that has been slowing broadband deployment.  We are freeing up more 
spectrum for next-gen wireless broadband than any other country in the world.  And we are promoting the 
deployment of broadband infrastructure from big cities to small towns. 
 
               These policies—not multi-Pinocchio claims about the end of the Internet that are being 
promoted in service of partisan politics—are the path to delivering more broadband for more 
Americans.  The FCC will continue the serious work we are doing to put these policies in place.
