SEC上个月裁定，公有无线运营商必须允许在其年度股东投票和Verizon的代理声明中包含有关网络中立性的决议— 本周刚刚出版— 确实如此。”互联网的开放（非歧视性）架构对我们经济和社会的繁荣至关重要股东要求公司公开承诺（不放弃或放弃任何与网络中立性相关的诉讼问题），自愿按照网络中立性原则运营其无线宽带网络。”

网络中立的支持者普遍认为，这是一个基本问题，即维护互联网的有用性和精神，认为运营商被激励以利润的名义封锁内容；事实上，我们刚刚听到一些人认为YouTube应该在几个星期前支付他们用户在MWC的眼球。Verizon也强烈反对无线网络中立，他说，如果所有的数据包都得到平等的处理，就不可能保持网络质量。公司董事会对无不确定条款（强调我们的）提案作出回应：

The Board of Directors strongly believes that by requiring the Company to "not privilege, degrade or prioritize any packet tran**itted over its wireless infrastructure based on its source, ownership or destination" this proposal will harm Verizon's ability to provide robust and secure wireless broadband service to its customers. The delivery of high-quality and safe wireless Internet access services is a highly complex, technical undertaking. The proponents appear to have no concept of the negative technical and operational ramificati*** of requiring purely "neutral" routing of Internet traffic. This proposal would substantially interfere with the technical operation of Verizon's wireless broadband network and have a wide-ranging and significant impact on Verizon's business and operati***. Among other things, the proposal would prevent Verizon from engaging in reasonable network management practices designed to address potential congestion, security and other wireless network problems and make the network more efficient and more widely available to all customers. The proposal would also prevent Verizon from giving priority to police, fire and military communicati*** over its wireless broadband network in the event of natural disasters or terrorist attacks.

Importantly, this very proposal was rejected by the FCC in its recently adopted rules addressing net neutrality issues. The FCC recognized that managing a broadband network in "non-neutral" ways was critical to ensuring network integrity, providing security capabilities and reducing congestion. It further concluded that wireless networks in particular present unique operational issues and expressly permitted providers to develop differentiated services that this proposal would prevent. The proposal disregards the FCC's conclusi*** about the importance of network management and would impede Verizon's ability to manage its networks and offer services to meet the needs of its customers.

Finally, Verizon is committed to maintaining an open and vibrant Internet. Verizon already complies with the FCC's net neutrality rules and voluntarily operates its wireless broadband networks in accordance with additional openness principles published on its website. The Board believes that the rigid operational requirements of this proposal will not further the "openness" of the Internet; to the contrary, it would expose Verizon's wireless broadband customers to reduced service quality and security.

For these reas***, the Board strongly opposes the proposal.

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote AGAINST this proposal.

Verizon name在其回复中检查了FCC，FCC未能像在有线服务上那样支持无线网络的网络中立性，著名的做法是在2010年使用Android作为其地位（或缺乏地位）的辩护。股东们在这里面临着一个有趣的困境：作为投资者，阻碍无线网络中无偏见的数据流可能是一项有利可图的冒险——特别是像VoLTE这样的服务将在明年上线——但作为客户，你只想以任何你选择的方式使用你的数据桶。

我们将密切关注这项措施是否在5月份通过— 如果真是这样的话，这可能标志着其他网络公司的股东们开创了一个全面的先例。

谢谢，杰克森G。！
