I would prefer not to see members signing onto the EFF letter. The EFF position is contrary to the positions that WISPA has taken on Network Neutrality and Title II both at the board and committee levels.
WISPA continues to support the principals of network neutrality and an open Internet but believe this can best be achieved without the overhead of Title II and the regulatory uncertainty that comes with Title II.
