April  26,  2017     The  Honorable  Ajit  Pai   Chairman   Federal  Communications  Commission   445  12th  Street  SW   Washington,  DC  20554     Chairman  Pai:     As  a  group  of  startups,  entrepreneurs,  investors,  and  the  organizations  who  support  them   from  all  50  states,  we  were  excited  to  hear  about  your  recent  regional  tour  with  startups   and  innovators  and  learn  about  your  plans  to  drive  better,  faster  broadband  deployment   across  the  U.S.       During  your  tour,  you  noted  that  "High-­‐speed  Internet  access,  or  broadband,  is  giving  rise   to  what  I  have  called  the  democratization  of  entrepreneurship.  With  a  powerful  plan  and  a   digital  connection,  you  can  raise  capital,  start  a  business,  immediately  reach  a  worldwide   customer  base,  and  disrupt  an  entire  industry."  We  couldn’t  agree  more.  Each  of  our   businesses  is  an  example  of  the  sort  of  innovation  and  investment  that  meaningful   broadband  access  has  fueled.     But  the  success  of  America’s  startup  ecosystem  depends  on  more  than  improved   broadband  speeds.  We  also  depend  on  an  open  Internet—including  enforceable  net   neutrality  rules  that  ensure  big  cable  companies  can’t  discriminate  against  people  like  us.   We’re  deeply  concerned  with  your  intention  to  undo  the  existing  legal  framework.     Without  net  neutrality,  the  incumbents  who  provide  access  to  the  Internet  would  be  able  to   pick  winners  or  losers  in  the  market.  They  could  impede  traffic  from  our  services  in  order   to  favor  their  own  services  or  established  competitors.  Or  they  could  impose  new  tolls  on   us,  inhibiting  consumer  choice.  Those  actions  directly  impede  an  entrepreneur’s  ability  to   “start  a  business,  immediately  reach  a  worldwide  customer  base,  and  disrupt  an  entire   industry.”  Our  companies  should  be  able  to  compete  with  incumbents  on  the  quality  of  our   products  and  services,  not  our  capacity  to  pay  tolls  to  Internet  access  providers.     Fortunately,  in  2015  the  Federal  Communications  Commission  put  in  place  light  touch  net   neutrality  rules  that  not  only  prohibit  certain  harmful  practices,  but  also  allow  the   Commission  to  develop  and  enforce  rules  to  address  new  forms  of  discrimination.  We  are   concerned  by  reports  that  you  would  replace  this  system  with  a  set  of  minimum  voluntary   commitments,  which  would  give  a  green  light  for  Internet  access  providers  to  discriminate   in  unforeseen  ways.     Rather  than  dismantling  regulations  that  allow  the  startup  ecosystem  to  thrive,  we  urge   you  to  focus  instead  on  policies  that  would  promote  a  stronger  Internet  for  everyone.  We   applaud  efforts  to  remove  unnecessary  barriers  to  construction  of  new  networks,  which   would  foster  increased  competition  and  faster,  more  affordable,  open  Internet  access.  We   appreciate  your  consideration  and  stand  at  the  ready  to  provide  insights  that  support  this   work.     Sincerely,     Engine   San  Francisco,  CA   Techstars   Boulder,  CO   Y  Combinator   San  Francisco,  CA   20n   San
