The
FCC has proposed new rules regarding the Internet. The agency wants to make the Internet like a public utility. This would be a win for those who believe in Net Neutrality and a loss for large cable companies. The law would help keep the Internet open and fair for everyone to use.
Naturally those who wish to profit off the Internet such as cable companies are against a free and open Internet. So here's the problem. Despite what the FCC may do, Congress could try to circumvent it. Here's a quote from FOX News.
The secrecy surrounding the Obama administration's plans for regulating the Internet has prompted a congressional inquiry into whether the independent Federal Communications Commission or the White House and its allies are calling the shots over the future of the nation's broadband networks.
Congress wants to blame their favorite fall guy, President Obama, and suggest he had a hand in pushing the FCC towards Net Neutrality. The head of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, said the committee planned to launch an investigation into the agency, pointing to a White House effort to influence the FCC.
Moreover, House DHS and Government Affairs Committee chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) is seeking more info from FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler on the White House's role in the Title II Net Neutrality debate.
Notice the party affiliation of both chairman. They come from the party that admits they are seen as the party of the rich and are evidently for the rich cable companies. This despite 4 million comments favoring Net Neutrality from the public.
The bottom line is don't let Congress change the FCC decision in any way.
Contact your representatives and give them this message. Don't mess with the FCC.
