I thank the Senator. Mr. President, I wanted to follow up on that very important point that the Senator was making, which is that these big companies are all saying: You don't have to worry because we don't have any intention of discriminating. Then we say: Well, that is what net neutrality says, that you should not discriminate, that you should treat everybody equally. Then they turn around and say: Oh, you can trust us, but take the rules off the books that we say that we agree with and that we are going to abide by. From my perspective, they are trying to have it both ways, but the way they really want to have it is with no rules at all. Then, they will be free to go back to displaying conduct which we know, in the past, they have engaged in. Does the Senator agree with that assessment?
