Cruz Includes Internet Freedom References in Remarks to RNC

Telecom policy was one topic of Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a Senate Commerce Committee member, during his keynote at the Republican National Convention Wednesday. “The internet -- keep it free from taxes, keep it free from regulation and don’t give it away to Russia and China," Cruz told the delegates, shortly before a chorus of boos began over his refusal to endorse GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump. Cruz has opposed the FCC net neutrality order and the Obama administration’s internet governance position.
