WASHINGTON – Nineteen members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, including the 18 returning members, led by Ranking Member Joe Barton, today called the Federal Communications Commission’s plan to vote on network neutrality “a mistake.”
“We have much we can do together on matters such as spectrum and universal service reform that will have a significant positive impact on the economy,” the lawmakers wrote to FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski. “Reigniting the network neutrality debate will only distract us from that work and further jeopardize investment, innovation, and jobs. We ask you not to circulate such an order.”
