OVERLAND PARK, Kan. - December 14, 2017 - In response to Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) vote today to repeal net neutrality regulations, Sprint (NYSE: S) issued the following statement:

'Sprint applauds the FCC's efforts to simplify a complex and challenging issue, while balancing multiple stakeholder interests in this important proceeding. Our position has been and continues to be that competition is the best way to promote an open internet. Complex and vague regulations previously created uncertainties around net neutrality compliance. The Commission's decision today eliminates those uncertainties and appears to allow Sprint to manage our network and offer competitive products.'
