Broadband Providers Maintain FCC Scheme

We, the undersigned spirited local exchange carriers and independent Internet Service Providers, cuddle an open and competitive market, and we know asset and innovation result when the rules of the game are steady and clear and the playing field is level. We also know patrons benefit when there is more broadband competition offering more choices. That's why we support Chairman Genachowski's proposal for a narrowly-tailored scaffold for oversight of broadband access.

The FCC is functioning tough to make sure every American can enjoy the opportunities broadband brings by ensuring its continual authority to supervise broadband access. Expressly, the FCC's proposal uses tightly targeted leniency and a light rigid touch pursuant to Title II to ensure it can stop anti-competitive behavior that could hurt consumers or the competitive broadband market. Approval of a Notice of Inquiry on the projected Third Way is the necessary step to uphold continual innovation, imagination, and investment in the technology sector that will result in fiscal growth and job creation. We add our communal voice to those sustaining the Third Way and acclaim the FCC for showing the kind of pioneering thinking and leadership grave in a broadband world.
