WASHINGTON, June 20, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- After the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce approved H.Con.Res.127, expressing the sense of Congress regarding actions to preserve and advance the multi-stakeholder governance model under which the Internet has thrived, CTIA-The Wireless Association President and CEO Steve Largent released the following statement:

"Today's bipartisan vote sends a strong signal that a hands-off policy, with respect to the Internet, is the right way to encourage the sort of investment and innovation that is the hallmark of the U.S. wireless ecosystem. CTIA commends Representative Bono Mack and the leadership of the Energy and Commerce Committee for coming together to advance this strong statement in favor of a free, unfettered Internet. We hope that policymakers here and abroad rally to the notion that the way to advance broadband access and deployment, and the political and economic freedoms broadband can support and advance, is by keeping the heavy-hand of government off of the Internet."
