Carr Warns Against 'Following Europe's Lead in Internet Controls'

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr warned against following Europe in establishing "internet controls," saying in a statement Wednesday that he hopes the FCC will "change course" on a draft proposal to reintroduce net neutrality rules (see 2309280084). "Later this month, the FCC will vote on a Biden Administration plan for government control of the internet that mimics Europe’s centralized approach," Carr said. Doing so would be a "serious mistake," he said: "America’s networks are not broken. Our light-touch regulatory model has not failed."
