Apple has historically kept quiet on the subject of net neutrality, but not anymore. The company recently filed a comment with the FCC calling for "strong, enforceable open internet protections" centered around the principles of consumer choice, transparency and competition. Apple got its comments in just under the wire, too: the FCC's electronic commenting system says the filing, signed by Apple Public Policy VP Cynthia Hogan, was received on the last day public comments were allowed.

"Our deep respect for our customers' security, privacy, and control over personal information extends to our customers' broadband connectivity choices," the filing reads. "We work hard to build great products, and what consumers do with those tools is up to them—not Apple, and not broadband providers."
