CDT Files Comments Opposing Censorship on Nationwide Wireless Network

CDT filed comments with the Federal Communications Commission — on behalf of more than twenty public interest and industry groups — against the FCC’s proposal to require censorship of a free nationwide wireless Internet access network. Although CDT supports the broad goal of deploying broadband nationwide, the comments argued that such government-mandated censorship would violate the First Amendment and would create an effectively unusable service due to the large amount of content and online services that would be blocked.
