Rep. Eshoo Statement on Google/Verizon Net Neutrality Proposal

Statement

Date: Aug. 9, 2010
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Science, Technology and Communication Energy

Rep. Anna G. Eshoo (D-Palo Alto), a senior member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, issued the following statement in response to Google and Verizon's policy proposal on net neutrality:

"I look forward to reviewing the details of the Google/Verizon proposal. While I appreciate Google and Verizon's commitment to net neutrality on the wired internet, as more internet traffic moves to wireless devices, we need to preserve net neutrality there as well. Consumers, not carriers, should determine which applications they want to use. At the end of the day, Congress and the FCC will decide the rules for net neutrality, not the companies. I remain convinced that net neutrality is necessary to ensure the continued development and innovation on the internet."
