I'm interested in how the Internet spreads information.

The Internet is one of the most revolutionary technologies the world has ever known. It has given us an entire universe of information in our pockets.

We must speed up the deployment of broadband in order to bring high-speed data services to homes and businesses. The spread of information technology has contributed to a steady growth in U.S. productivity.

The Internet is really about highly specialized information, highly specialized targeting.

The balance of power shifts on the Internet to the individual. This is a two-way medium.

The Internet is one of the biggest advances ever in our world.

Thirdly, as we move through this process of integrating the communications, we will begin to emulate more of the World Wide Web in our work in the future.

The Internet is a really big tent. In theory, it can support the full range of models, one of which is, 'Here's my information and I'm happy you can use it,' and the other one is, 'Here's the information and you can't have it unless you pay me for it,' and perhaps some things in-between. There is a full spectrum of models.

I consider high-speed data transmission an invention that became a major innovation. It changed the way we all communicate.

The important thing to remember with the Internet is that there are large companies that have an interest in controlling how information flows in it. They're very effective at lobbying Congress, and that pattern has locked down other communication media in the past. And it will happen again unless we do something about it.
