Stories from Beverly Hills, California

"I am a strong supporter of net neutrality… What you've been seeing is some lobbying that says that the servers and the various portals through which you're getting information over the Internet should be able to be gatekeepers and to charge different rates to different Web sites… And that I think destroys one of the best things about the Internet— which is that there is this incredible equality there… Facebook, MySpace, Google might not have been started if you had not had a level playing field for whoever's got the best idea and I want to maintain that basic principal in how the Internet functions. As president I am going to make sure that that is the principle that my FCC commissioners are applying as we move forward."
