Rick Boucher: “I think it moves in the right direction, and I think it is important to note how far the Republicans have now moved…”

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

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.

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

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.
