McConnell on FCC Rollback of Harmful Net Neutrality Regulation

‘I commend Chairman Pai for taking bold action today to turn back this portion of the Obama Administration’s eight-year regulatory assault on all aspects of our economy.’

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) released the following statement regarding the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) rollback of a harmful, Obama-era net neutrality regulation:

“The growth of the Internet and the rapid adoption of mobile technology have been great American success stories. And they were made possible by a light regulatory touch. I commend Chairman Pai for taking bold action today to turn back this portion of the Obama Administration’s eight-year regulatory assault on all aspects of our economy. We are fortunate to have a Chairman who knows our nation needs an FCC that will encourage innovation, not suffocate it under the weight of an outdated bureaucracy.”
