    Federal Communications Commission

    445 12th Street, SW


    Washington D.C. 20554
    May 7, 2014

    Dear Chairman Wheeler and Commissioners Clyburn, Rosenworcel, Pai, and OReilly:

    We write to express our support for a free and open internet. Over the past twenty years, American
    innovators have created countless Internet-based applications, content oferings, and services that
    are used around the world. These innovations have created enormous value for Internet users, fueled
    economic growth, and made our Internet companies global leaders. The innovation we have seen to
    date happened in a world without discrimination. An open Internet has also been a platform for free
    speech and opportunity for billions of users.

    The Commissions long-standing commitment and actions undertaken to protect the open Internet
    are a central reason why the Internet remains an engine of entrepreneurship and economic growth.

    According to recent news reports, the Commission intends to propose rules that would enable phone
    and cable Internet service providers to discriminate both technically and fnancially against Internet
    companies and to impose new tolls on them. If these reports are correct, this represents a grave
    threat to the Internet.

    Instead of permitting individualized bargaining and discrimination, the Commissions rules should
    protect users and Internet companies on both fxed and mobile platforms against blocking, discrim-
    ination, and paid prioritization, and should make the market for Internet services more transparent.
    The rules should provide certainty to all market participants and keep the costs of regulation low.

    Such rules are essential for the future of the Internet. This Commission should take the necessary
    steps to ensure that the Internet remains an open platform for speech and commerce so that America
    continues to lead the world in technology markets.
