FCC toimplement polocies that will preserve the open internet.
Today, Chairman Julius Genachowski blinked. He backed away from the cliff and announced he was moving to implement broadband policies that will preserve the open Internet and promote universal access.
This decision was an epic loss for AT&T and Comcast and their multi-million dollar lobbyists — but a solid victory for the rest of us, including the more than 1.9 million Americans who've demanded that Washington take a stand for Net Neutrality.

This is great news, and thanks to you, we can call today a win. But we can't rest until the rules are finalized, the ink is dry, and the FCC has done everything to protect Internet users.
Chairman Genachowski just announced that the FCC will take the summer to weigh a Title II option that will support Net Neutrality rules.
While Comcast and AT&T may be licking their wounds today, tomorrow they'll be unleashing their lobbyists and smear merchants in an effort to strangle Net Neutrality.

Our next steps are crucial. As this issue comes to a head at the FCC over the next few months, we'll need to keep up public pressure on the FCC, lobby members of Congress and continue to debunk the industry lies about Net Neutrality and reclassification. And we'll be counting on you to step up again if Chairman Genachowski starts to waffle on protecting the open Internet.
