CTIA Statement on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit Decision on Open Internet

WASHINGTON, June 14, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Please attribute the following statement to CTIA® President and CEO Meredith Attwell Baker:

"The wireless industry remains committed to preserving an open Internet and will pursue judicial and congressional options to ensure a regulatory framework that provides certainty for consumers, investors and innovators. For the U.S. to remain the global mobile leader, we need rules that help promote consumer access to 5G and the Internet of Things without subjecting the wireless industry to investment-chilling public utility regulation. In the interim, we urge the FCC to support innovative new services, like free data, that benefit consumers and reflect the highly competitive mobile market."
