WASHINGTON, DC - House Communications and Technology Subcommittee Chairman Greg Walden (R-OR) today commented on Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler’s presentation this week regarding the commission’s Open Internet Order at the 2015 International CES.
“The endgame should not be heavy-handed regulation that will lead to a bonanza of litigation and uncertainty. Instead, we would encourage the chairman to join Congress in working to enact a shared set of principles that will withstand legal challenge. We can achieve a bipartisan solution to provide consumers the protections they deserve, the choices they want, and give job creators legal certainty ensuring continued investment in the Internet. At the end of the day, working together, we can and will get a win for consumers, growth, and innovation," said Walden.
