The following statement is attributed to Gigi B. Sohn, president and co-founder of Public Knowledge:
“The Federal Communications Commission has apparently voted to punish Comcast for violating the Commission's open Internet principles. This is good news for consumers and Internet users. Comcast knowingly blocked lawful Internet use and denied it.
“The fact that the Commission is willing to stand up for its principles and for Internet users is a good sign that the concept of Net Neutrality is alive and well in Washington. We look forward to learning more about the details of the Commission action.”
