COMMISSIONER ROSENWORCEL ON NET NEUTRALITY
 COMMENT DEADLINE EXTENSION

 
WASHINGTON, March 25, 2020:  Today, Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel issued the following statement regarding the announcement of the Federal Communications Commission’s extension of the pleading cycle on the net neutrality remand. 
 
“Today’s extension of the period for public comment about net neutrality is welcome.  However, when it comes to collecting public feedback on what the FCC’s net neutrality repeal means when it comes to public safety and low-income consumers, an even longer extension would have been appropriate.  The American public cares about net neutrality and should have every opportunity to let Washington know how important it is for every part of our civic and commercial lives.  

The FCC should extend all of its deadlines, to the extent it can, in light of the coronavirus pandemic.  Everyone should be focused on what matters the most right now—that is responding to this crisis.”
