I want to again thank all Members who have participated on a bipartisan basis in bringing this measure to the floor. Many Members have contributed to its construction. It is the right path to take. This will bring us to a point where we are in a position to decide how to meet the rising spectrum demands that inevitably we will confront within just a few years. It is the right approach, and I commend this measure to the House and urge its approval.

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 am here today to urge that the committee develop a narrow bipartisan bill that gives statutory permanence and an assured legal foundation to network neutrality.
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.
Those who strongly support network neutrality should be looking for greater permanence.
