Companies And ISPs Reactions To FCC Vote Against Net Neutrality


FCC Vote Against Net Neutrality has consequences and we are all going to pay for that. Of course many companies are against and just some for it. Amazon, verizon, att, vimeo, reddit, microsoft, netflix, facebook has made statements that you can read here. Here's the reactions from some of companies and business leaders Thursday's vote on Net neutrality.

Amazon Chief Technology Officer Werner Vogels


"I am extremely disappointed in the FCC decision to remove the #NetNeutrality protections," Vogels wrote on Twitter. "We'll continue to work with our peers, partners and customers to find ways to ensure an open and fair internet that can continue to drive massive innovation."

Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg


"Today's decision from the Federal Communications Commission to end net neutrality is disappointing and harmful. An open internet is critical for new ideas and economic opportunity -- and internet providers shouldn't be able to decide what people can see online or charge more for certain websites," Sandberg wrote on Facebook. "We're ready to work with members of Congress and others to help make the internet free and open for everyone."

 

Microsoft Chief Legal Officer Brad Smith


"The open internet benefits consumers, business & the entire economy," Smith wrote. "That's jeopardized by the FCC's elimination of #netneutrality protections today."

Netflix


"We're disappointed in the decision to gut #NetNeutrality protections that ushered in an unprecedented era of innovation, creativity & civic engagement," read a tweet posted on Netflix's verified account. "This is the beginning of a longer legal battle. Netflix stands w/ innovators, large & small, to oppose this misguided FCC order."

Reddit Co-Founder Alexis Ohanian


"We cannot let this happen to our internet in the US," Ohanian tweeted. "We must keep fighting for #NetNeutrality."

Vimeo


"It's disheartening that the #FCC chose to ignore the public and approve a policy that benefits the few and powerful at the expense of creators, and the stories they work to tell," the company posted on Twitter. "We look forward to challenging this misguided decision in court. #NetNeutrality"

AT&T


"We do not block websites, nor censor online content, nor throttle or degrade traffic based on the content, nor unfairly discriminate in our treatment of internet traffic," the company said in a statement. "These principles, which were laid out in the FCC's 2010 Open Internet Order and fully supported by AT&T, are clearly articulated on our website and are fully enforceable against us. In short, the internet will continue to work tomorrow just as it always has."

Verizon Senior Vice President of Regulatory Affairs Will Johnson


"Verizon fully supports the open Internet, and we will continue to do so," Johnson said in an emailed statement. "Our customers demand it and our business depends on it."

 

The USTelecom and Broadband Association


"Today, the future of our open, thriving internet has been secured," the group, which represents companies including AT&T and Verizon, wrote. "America's broadband providers -- who have long supported net neutrality protections and have committed to continuing to do so -- will have renewed confidence to make the investments required to strengthen the nation's networks and close the digital divide, especially in rural communities."
