Dear Brian:

= Thank you for contacting me about net neut= rality. It was good to hear from you about this important matter.

Today, internet ac= cess is no longer a luxury; it is essential.  That's why, in 2015, the= Federal Communications Commission (FCC) correctly adopted the Open Interne= t Order.  These important net neutrality rules protect the free flow o= f ideas that are creating new industries, educating our youth, promoting fr= ee speech, and supporting the communications that we rely on every day.

The Open Internet = Order applies the principles of nondiscrimination to the broadband world.&n= bsp; Net neutrality bans paid prioritization, blocking, and throttling of i= nternet content, which ensures that start-ups, small businesses, and anyone= with an idea and voice have unfettered access to the world's greatest plat= form for communications and commerce.  The Open Internet Order also al= lowed the FCC to adopt other important protections that help underserved co= mmunities and protect consumers.

I have long fought= to keep the internet a free and open forum for communications, commerce, a= nd information sharing.  In 2014, I led the = call for the FCC to put the strongest net neutrality rules on the books= .  When industry challenged the order in court, I along with 29 of my = Congressional colleagues, filed an Amicus Brief= in support of the FCC's rules, which the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals uph= eld in June 2016.

Regrettably, the F= CC now plans to vote to undermine the Open Internet Order. In response= , I led Senat= e Democrats in writing to FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, to covey our strong opposi= tion to actions that would undermine the Open Internet Order and gut critic= al net neutrality protections. In August, I led a group of 21 senators calling on the FC= C to extend the reply comment period about its proposal to allow internet s= ervice providers to set up internet fast lanes and slow lanes. .

Both our economy a= nd the free expression of ideas depend on the open internet.  The same= holds true today.  Throughout the coming months and years, I will con= tinue to fight to maintain and enforce the Open Internet Order and oppose a= ny attempts to undo these important protections.

Thank you again fo= r contacting me about this issue.  If I can be of further assistance, = please do not hesitate to contact me. You can leave me a message at = htt= p://markey.senate.gov/contact.  Y= ou can also follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and = YouTube.
