SEC上個月裁定，公有無線運營商必須允許在其年度股東投票和Verizon的代理宣告中包含有關網路中立性的決議— 本週剛剛出版— 確實如此。”網際網路的開放（非歧視性）架構對我們經濟和社會的繁榮至關重要股東要求公司公開承諾（不放棄或放棄任何與網路中立性相關的訴訟問題），自願按照網路中立性原則運營其無線寬頻網路。”

網路中立的支持者普遍認為，這是一個基本問題，即維護網際網路的有用性和精神，認為運營商被激勵以利潤的名義封鎖內容；事實上，我們剛剛聽到一些人認為YouTube應該在幾個星期前支付他們使用者在MWC的眼球。Verizon也強烈反對無線網路中立，他說，如果所有的資料包都得到平等的處理，就不可能保持網路質量。公司董事會對無不確定條款（強調我們的）提案作出回應：

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在其回覆中檢查了FCC，FCC未能像在有線服務上那樣支援無線網路的網路中立性，著名的做法是在2010年使用Android作為其地位（或缺乏地位）的辯護。股東們在這裡面臨著一個有趣的困境：作為投資者，阻礙無線網路中無偏見的資料流可能是一項有利可圖的冒險——特別是像VoLTE這樣的服務將在明年上線——但作為客戶，你只想以任何你選擇的方式使用你的資料桶。

我們將密切關註這項措施是否在5月份透過— 如果真是這樣的話，這可能標志著其他網路公司的股東們開創了一個全面的先例。

謝謝，傑克森G。！
