Congresswoman Michelle Lujan Grisham released the following statement today in response to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) vote to rollback net neutrality protections.
"I am extremely disappointed with the FCC's short-sided vote to overturn net neutrality and create "fast lanes' which would allow internet service providers to unfairly discriminate against certain companies and consumers. After explicitly ignoring millions of Americans supporting net neutrality, the FCC's decision to dismantle equal access to the internet undermines important protections for users. This will jeopardize economic growth in New Mexico and across the country, where innovators and small companies depend on an open, free, and fair internet."
