Charter Communications, Inc.
CHTR today released the following statement in response to the White
House Title II Announcement.
"Charter Communications unambiguously supports an open Internet, which is
vital for consumers and central to our continued success. The extraordinary
growth of broadband service in the United States, which now reaches more than
70 million households, has largely been the result of the current regulatory
environment. For these reasons, we strongly oppose the reclassification of
broadband as a Title II service under the Telecommunications Act. Efforts to
reclassify broadband ignore the fact that the current rules have encouraged
billions of dollars of investment in our broadband infrastructure and
Americans' access to open, fast, and reliable service has never been greater.
Applying 1930's-era, rotary telephone legislation to a 21^st century computer
technology comes with significant risks to consumers. It is a solution in
search of a problem and threatens to undermine continued investment to improve
and expand our nation's broadband infrastructure."
