And when we gather back here next year, we should bring specific commitments to promote transparency; to fight corruption; to energize civic engagement; to leverage new technologies so that we strengthen the foundations of freedom in our own countries, while living up to the ideals that can light the world.”
FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski commended the president for his statement, adding that “communications networks can and must play a vital role in advancing economic development, freedom, and human dignity around the globe. It is essential that we preserve the open Internet and stand firmly behind the right of all people to connect with one another and to exchange ideas freely and without fear.”
