Summary of the Open Internet Coalition's Letter to Co-Chairs of Obama's Transition Project

This letter was written by the Open Internet Coalition to the Obama-Biden Transition Project in order to express the Coalition's pursuit of keeping the internet fast, open and accessible to all Americans. Highlighted in this blog are the four main points the Coalition touched on in their letter.

1. Appoint a new Chairman and a new Commisioner for the Federal Communications Commission that support strong enforcement and promotion of open Internet principle (Net Neutrality). Obama will be able to reform the FCC to enforce Net Neutrality by means of new plans and laws that will restrict providers from excessive pricing of consumers in order to block some sites and enable others

2. Appoint leaders at the Federal Trade Commission and the department of Justice who understand the importance of promoting an open Internet through vigorous use of pro-competition and consumer protection laws.

3. Require the chief Technology officer and the United States Trade Representative to promote open internet policies at home and abroad.

4. Support legislation in Congress that protects the Open Internet by prohibiting unreasonable discrimination by network operators
