Proposal for Internet Policy

Washington, D.C. – The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), which represents the companies that manufacture or supply the products and services used in the provision of broadband and broadband-enabled applications, today responded to the Verizon-Google Legislative Framework Proposal for Internet Policy, issuing the following statement on the goals outlined therein:

“TIA appreciates the efforts of Verizon and Google in proposing a legislative framework for Internet policy. We believe this is a step in the right direction towards consensus and a possible solution to the uncertainty created by the Comcast decision. The Verizon and Google announcement rightly addressed important issues such as the need for network management, recognizing that a managed network is necessary to ensure reliable broadband service. We look forward to continuing to work with all parties to help define a policy that will promote investment, innovation and access to broadband and broadband-enabled technologies for all Americans, without negatively affecting job growth and the economy.”
