Jessica Rosenworcel’s dissent

writscrib:

For those of you who don’t like video or prefer reading to watching, FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel’s dissent was a thing of beauty. In her words:

I, too, am frustrated. But here’s a twist: I hear you. I listen to what callers are saying. I
read the countless, individually written e-mails in my in-box, the posts online, and the very short
and sometimes very long letters. And I’m not going to give up—and neither should you. If the
arc of history is long, we are going to bend this toward a more just outcome. In the courts. In
Congress. Wherever we need to go to ensure that net neutrality stays the law of the land.
Because if you are conservative or progressive, you benefit from internet openness. If you come
from a small town or big city, you benefit from internet openness. If you are a company or nonprofit,
you benefit from internet openness. If you are a start-up or an established business, you
benefit from internet openness. If you are a consumer or a creator, you benefit from internet
openness. If you believe in democracy, you benefit from internet openness.

I apologize for those of you who followed this blog to keep track of a new site, but sites like ours face an arduous and difficult journey without Net Neutrality. The future of the internet rests on this.

So don’t give up.
