Today, the FCC adopted strong legal protections for network neutrality that will yield civic, social and economic benefits for U.S. citizens. The FCC issued a statement which said in part:

These new rules are guided by three principles: America’s broadband networks must be fast, fair and open—principles shared by the overwhelming majority of the nearly 4 million commenters who participated in the FCC’s Open Internet proceeding.
