I very much hope that a conversation will ensue and that you will adopt legislation that does a service for the country and keeps the Internet open and maintains the light touch regulatory treatment that it enjoys today.

I remain a strong supporter today of network neutrality as I was then.

The best way to preserve network neutrality, and the best way to do that is a narrowly crafted statute that gives permanence to these principles.

As the Honorable Rick Boucher said, the notion that Title II is going to put regulations on a sure footing is simply wrong.

I think it moves in the right direction, and I think it is important to note how far the Republicans have now moved toward the historic Democratic position.

I believed then and believe today that where the incumbent providers are not offering an adequate service... it ought to be free to do so.

I think the fact that Republicans have moved as far toward the Democratic position as they have is really a major development.

Let us not upset that very workable formula. Keep Title I in place.

I think very simply because both sides now have quite a bit of leverage, and when both sides have leverage roughly equal, and I think that is the situation today, it is the optimal circumstance for legislating.

Those who strongly support network neutrality should be looking for greater permanence.

I believed then as I believe today that assuring an open Internet is essential to maintaining the Web as a vibrant medium for free expression, for commerce, for education, for healthcare delivery.

The first of these is that the Republican offer for imbedding strong network neutrality principles in the statute be accepted by Democrats.
