Net Neutrality Officially Ends June 11

From this morning's RAMP newsletter, Democratic FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel issued her own strongly worded statement against this move, that read...

"Today, the FCC gave notice net neutrality protections will be taken off the books on June 11. This is profoundly disappointing. The agency failed to listen to the American public and gave short shrift to their deeply held belief that Internet openness should remain the law of the land. The agency turned a blind eye to serious problems in its process -- from Russian intervention to fake comments to stolen identities in its files." Rosenworcel continued, "The FCC is on the wrong side of history, the wrong side of the law, and the wrong side of the American people. It deserves to have its handiwork revisited, reexamined, and ultimately reversed. I raised my voice to fight for Internet freedom. I'll keep raising a ruckus to support net neutrality and I hope others will too."
