U.S.: Statement from FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski on Senate Foreign Relations Committee Internet Governance Resolution
Source: fcc.gov
Source Date: Wednesday, September 19, 2012
Focus: ICT for MDGs
Country: United States
Created: Sep 25, 2012

“I applaud the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for strongly reaffirming America’s support for Internet freedom and the multi-stakeholder model of Internet governance by passing this resolution. The proposals by some countries to restrict the free flow of information online would threaten one of the most powerful engines for global economic growth and the spread of democracy in human history. I fully support today’s vote, which makes clear that the World Conference on International Telecommunications must embrace the success of the last two decades of liberalization in telecom regulation as well as the existing multi-stakeholder model in order to ensure continued investment and growth of the Internet around the globe.”
