Barack Obama: On Net Neutrality

"And as president, I intend to write with you the next chapter in the story of American innovation. That's part of the reason I'm running for President of the United States. To seize this moment we have to ensure free and full exchange of information, and that starts with an open Internet. I will take a backseat to no one in my commitment to Network Neutrality, because once providers start to privilege some applications or websites over others, then the smaller voices get squeezed out, and we all lose. The Internet is perhaps the most open network in history, and we have to keep it that way." -Barack Obama
