FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr Slams Democrat Net Neutrality Revival: ‘Government Control of the Internet’Republican FCC commissioner Brendan Carr has slammed plans by the Democrat majority on the commission to revive Obama-era regulations on telecoms carriers, a measure that progressives sold to the public as “Net Neutrality.”
“Americans want the freedom to express themselves online, not freewheeling micromanagement by government bureaucrats,” said Carr.WASHINGTON, DC, September 27, 2023—FCC Commissioner Carr issued the following statement: Since the FCC’s 2017 decision to restore Internet freedom, broadband speeds in the U.S. are up, prices are down, competition has increased, and record-breaking broadband builds brought millions of Americans across the digital divide. Utility-style regulation of the Internet was never about improving your online experience—that was just the sheep’s clothing. It was always about control.
This utility-style regulation will slow down rural broadband builds. The last thing that broadband builders across rural America need right now is a regulatory onslaught from Washington. Yet that is precisely what Title II utility-style regulation entails. As the FCC determined in 2017, the agency’s 2015 experiment with Title II regulation negatively impacted small ISPs that serve rural communities.
