Thoughts on the Governor’s letter
I’ll be writing back to the Governor to try to convince him that Net Neutrality is not a federal-only issue. There are many internet content providers and developers in NJ. Combine that with the fact that NJ residents are some of the highest per capita internet consumers in the country and you can see very clearly that Net Neutrality is an issue of great importance to our state.
Cable competition is one form of competition that New Jersey residents will benefit from; but it is not they only form of competition that needs protection right now. I’ll encourage him to use his conditional veto power to ask for changes in NJ’s state wide cable franchise bill so that it addresses competition on the internet, to ensure that as well as having choice in cable providers we will have choice in internet services as well.
