Following is a statement from U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) on the Federal Communication Commission’s vote today to repeal so-called “net neutrality” rules:
“The Republican-led FCC just turned its back on consumers. By voting to give internet providers the ability to decide what websites their customers will see, how fast they’ll see them and how much they’re going to have to pay, the FCC just ended the internet as we know it.”
