Communications

Internet

The Internet is now the essential source of consumer information and an important means of communication with product sellers. To effectively serve all consumers, it must function in a non-discriminatory manner (“network neutrality”). And as consumers use the Internet, whether in dealings with sellers and others, or in just surfing websites, they need adequate consumer and privacy protections.
