Consumers Need

an Internet Bill of Rights

Government rules for the internet have been debated for nearly as long as the

internet has existed, even before a professor coined the term “net neutrality”

15 years ago.

The internet has changed our lives and grown beyond what anyone could

have imagined. And it’s done so, for the most part, with very few—but ofen

changing—rules. Regulators under four di?erent presidents have taken four

di?erent approaches. Courts have overturned regulatory decisions. Regulators

have reversed their predecessors. And because the internet is so critical to

everyone, it’s understandably confusing and a bit concerning when you hear

the rules have recently changed, yet again.

It is time for Congress to end the debate once and for all, by writing new laws

that govern the internet and protect consumers.

Until they do, I want to make clear what you can expect from AT&T.

AT&T is committed to an open internet. We don’t block websites.

We don’t censor online content. And we don’t throttle, discriminate,

or degrade network performance based on content. Period.

We have publicly committed to these principles for over 10 years. And we

will continue to abide by them in providing our customers the open internet

experience they have come to expect.

But the commitment of one company is not enough. Congressional

action is needed to establish an “Internet Bill of Rights” that applies to all

internet companies and guarantees neutrality, transparency, openness,

non-discrimination and privacy protection for all internet users.

Legislation would not only ensure consumers’ rights are protected, but it would

provide consistent rules of the road for all internet companies across all websites,

content, devices and applications. In the very near future, technological advances

like self-driving cars, remote surgery and augmented reality will demand even

greater performance from the internet. Without predictable rules for how

the internet works, it will be difcult to meet the demands of these new

technology advances.

That’s why we intend to work with Congress, other internet companies

and consumer groups in the coming months to push for an

“Internet Bill of Rights” that permanently protects the open internet

for all users and encourages continued investment for the next generation

of internet innovation.
