CWA Supports Open Internet Rulemaking by FCC to Promote Investment, Innovation, Jobs

The Federal Communications Commission is moving forward to develop rules to preserve an open Internet that also serve to stimulate investment, innovation and job creation. CWA commended Chairman Julius Genachowski for launching an open and transparent process and for acknowledging that there are no predetermined answers in this discussion. 

Over the next few months, CWA will participate in thorough discussions of the complex issues involved, particularly how to promote investment and innovation and continue job creation while protecting an open Internet.

CWA has long contended that the United States must support broadband build out to ensure the growth of advanced high speed networks, create the jobs our economy needs and restore the United States' standing as an Internet leader.
