House Prepares to Remind FCC It Has No Authority to Impose Net Neutrality

House Commerce Committee Republicans reported are signatures for a  letter to Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski reminding him there now is bipartisan agreement that net neutrality must be resolved by Congress.

"FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski will imminently flout the  will of the American public, the Congress, the unions, numerous civil liberties and minority groups, former FCC officials, and even members of his own political party, and unilaterally impose Net Neutrality regulations on the Internet," said Mike Wendy, director of Media Freedom.org.
"In light of other recent statements, it represents a 180-degree shift away from his call to ‘catalyze private investment, foster job creation, compete globally, and create broad opportunity in the United States.’"
