国会中仍有不少共和党议员企图推动阻止FCC实施新规的法案。但是在参议院和奥巴马总统的支持下,FCC仍能够在重重阻碍下推进这项法规实施。
参议院主席汤姆·惠勒发表声明:
这是对因特网消费者和创新者的巨大胜利,本周五是胜利的开始,因特网从此走向快速、公平、公开。任何封阻、节流、只有付费才能获得高速通道的消费者和互联网之间的阻碍将成为过去,新规也同样会从经济上促使网络提供商确保能建设更快速和更有竞争力的宽带网络服务。
(原文如下)
"This is a huge victory for Internet consumers and innovators! Starting Friday, there will be a referee on the field to keep the Internet fast, fair and open. Blocking, throttling, pay-for-priority fast lanes and other efforts to come between consumers and the Internet are now things of the past. The rules also give broadband providers the certainty and economic incentive to build fast and competitive broadband networks."
