I failed to ask for a unanimous consent request to include in the record a letter dated January 20 from the mayors of New York and San Francisco.

What is abundantly clear in the majority's proposal is to purposely tie the hands of the FCC by prohibiting them from reclassifying broadband under Title II.

The proposal carries an enormous bias against enforcement, which in turn doesn't give consumers a leg to stand on.

An open Internet is not only critical to America's future, it is essential for every American to learn, to educate, to conduct commerce, to build businesses and create jobs, to innovate, to expand our economy, and to promote democracy.

Could it put them out of business?

broadband access, adoption, and digital literacy are civil right prerequisites.

I do believe that there is a role for Congress, and that is why I introduced a bill with Senator Leahy to instruct the FCC to write rules that ban pay prioritization or so-called Internet fast lanes.

As Congress considers legislation, it is important that the FCC does not slow down or delay its vote.

Wireless voice has been, as you know, a former commissioner of the FCC, under Title II since 1993.

I don't think your constituents or mine are clamoring for a bill of rights for various companies. They want the guarantee of an open accessible Internet.

The American people have spoken clearly on how important the Internet is to daily lives and our economy.

If our goal is to have a system that guarantees equal access of an open Internet to everyone, and it should, who is going to carry out and oversee this?
