STATEMENT: Rep. Ro Khanna – FCC Must Uphold Net Neutrality

Washington, DC – Rep. Ro Khanna (CA-17) issued the following statement on remarks made by Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai on rollbacks to net neutrality.

"Chairman Pai needs to cease his endless assault on internet freedom and net neutrality. This proposal would concentrate power to a handful of internet service providers and hinder innovation for both startups and consumers. FCC commissioners should refuse to accept Pai's proposal and keep the current legal framework that guarantees a free and open internet. To do otherwise puts our economy and what this country stands for at risk."
