I think the unintended consequence that you highlighted gets to the point of the rush to judgment.

I believe there is a good deal of room for criticism of the net-neutrality order.

A key priority for me is expanding the amount of commercial spectrum available and updating infrastructure rules to facilitate build-out.

How does fines totaling $365 million help consumers, promote innovation and investment? How come they should have that role instead of Congress?

These numbers are picked out of the air. We are not going to see $365 million. It is great for a press release, but it is not going to actually develop.

I find that the Commission's understanding of the issue is lacking and its expertise is low.

I think they have misapplied the statute. I think that it is far beyond what Congress implied.

I believe it should, and that is why I am in favor of the bill that you are contemplating and drafting.

I think it is extremely problematic what we did, not only the process that we went through, and you highlighted it there, but also the outcome.

At this pivotal moment for Internet freedom, the FCC's Net neutrality proceeding could severely contradict and underestimate the U.S. Government's international position.

I think there's an opportunity to reduce regulations that may be too burdensome, but there's an opportunity still to protect consumers.

I think that freedom itself is intertwined to our overall goals.
