Time Warner Cable Comments on the FCC's proposed Net Neutrality Order

Time Warner Cable TWC has consistently believed that the best way to preserve and enhance the great American success story of the Internet is to ensure that all participants in the Internet ecosystem have the ability and incentive to invest and innovate. We understand that FCC Chairman Genachowski's proposed Order takes steps intended to ensure the continued openness of the Internet, while at the same time affords network providers flexibility to provide subscribers with the best possible experience by appropriately managing their networks for optimum performance. Importantly, we understand that the Order also enables network operators to provide specialized services that we may not even be able to imagine today. The proposal, now under review by the full Commission, appears to strike an appropriate balance between these important objectives, and provided it does, we believe that we can support it. We would like to commend Chairman Genachowski, and everyone at the Commission, who have worked tirelessly to craft what we believe to be a fair resolution to these complex and controversial policy issues. We also want to thank the many Members of Congress who, on a bipartisan basis, urged the Commission to take a less regulatory path in order to ensure that the Internet continues its vibrant growth and development.
