one of the FCC's governing principles should be that the Internet is not a necessity in the everyday lives of Americans.

Can you tell us when the FCC will complete its review of the good faith rules, and when we can expect new rules to be put in place to better protect consumers?

Delay is, I think, highly concerning, because this is one of the three channels that tech companies say are, at a minimum, needed in this band to stimulate and sustain investment in enhanced Wi-Fi.
