D.C. Circuit Win for Internet Freedom 

WASHINGTON, DC – October 1, 2019. FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr released the following statement on today’s D.C. Circuit decision:

“Today’s decision is a big win for a free and open Internet and for U.S. leadership in 5G.  The Internet has flourished under the light touch approach to regulation that the FCC restored in 2017.  Since then, Internet speeds are up, prices are down, and the U.S. leapfrogged our global competitors to secure the largest 5G build in the world.  By affirming the FCC’s authority to take this modern approach to Internet regulation, today’s court decision will enable us to build on this success for the benefit of all Americans.”
