*By Robert M. McDowell, commissioner of the Federal Communications
Commission*
The Wall Street Journal - 21 February 2012

We heard that hackneyed slogan quite a few times since 2003.
It is typically sung by some republican representative, the party pushing
SOPA, PIPA, ACTA.
Double tongue as usual.

Robert M. McDowell was first appointed to a seat on the Federal
Communications Commission by U.S. President George W. Bush and unanimously
confirmed by the Senate in 2006.

Commissioner McDowell has been an outspoken critic of net neutrality rules,
casting a dissenting vote based on four primary concerns: 1) Nothing is
broken in the Internet access market that needs fixing; 2) The FCC does not
have the legal authority to issue net neutrality rules; 3) The rules are
likely to cause irreparable harm; and 4) Existing law and Internet
governance structures provide ample consumer protection in the event a
systemic market failure occurs.
