Issues: Technology and Communication Business and Consumers

U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-VA) released the below statement on the Federal Communications Commission's plan to repeal net neutrality rules:

"The FCC Chairman has decided to move forward to repeal net neutrality rules without any plan in place to uphold longstanding open internet principles supported by both Democratic and Republican Administrations. I am deeply concerned that the FCC's current plan would amount to a green light for potential anti-competitive practices by certain internet service providers, with the Chairman signaling the Commission's unwillingness to protect consumers and small businesses from potential abuse."
