OPINION: Protecting Internet freedom from the Obama administration

Despite any evidence of great consumer harm, the Obama administration continues to push for regulatory action that could change the future of the Internet as we know it. Immediately following the midterm elections, President Obama urged the Federal Communications Commission to regulate the Internet as a utility under Title II of the Communications Act.

For decades, the Internet has been an open and competitive free market without the interference of regulatory action from bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. A light regulatory touch has spurred innovation‎ and the growth of the Internet. And it will continue to thrive without any new regulations from the FCC.
