Congress to Hold Closed Door Meetings on Communications Policy

Communications policy will be examined by the U.S. House and Senate behind closed doors June 25, 2010. Presumably among the issues to be examined are the Federal Communications Commission's proposed common carrier regulation of broadband access, which a majority of Congress already say they oppose.

Among the organizers include Senator John D. Rockefeller IV, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation; Rep. Henry A. Waxman, Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce; Senator John F. Kerry, Chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, and the Internet; Rep. Rick Boucher, Chairman, of the House Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, and the Internet.
