For Immediate Release The following statement should be attributed to Markham Erickson, Executive Director, Open Internet Coalition: Markham Erickson, Executive Director of the Open Internet Coalition, issued the following statement: “Tomorrow, the FCC will begin a critical process to clarify the legal authority that was put into question by the decision in Comcast v FCC. The companies of the OIC praise Chairman Genachowski for putting forward a common-sense, narrowly drawn ‘third-way’ approach that if adopted, will allow the Commission to help extend high-speed broadband Internet access to all Americans, and make sure consumer choice over broadband Internet service is protected. Our Coalition continues to believe that action at the FCC is the fastest and most precise way to promote innovation and investment moving forward.” “Without fast, available, and open broadband, full participation in the global economy will remain unattainable. Tomorrow’s vote will ultimately help ensure broadband Internet is accessible for everyone, giving every person the ability to participate in the most important platform for economic growth and innovation in our nation’s history.” About the Open Internet Coalition: The Open Internet Coalition (openinternetcoalition.com) represents consumers, grassroots organizations, and businesses working in pursuit of a shared goal: keeping the Internet fast, open and accessible to all Americans.
