STEARNS REACTS TO REPORT THAT FCC IS PREPARING INTERNET REGULATION PLAN

FCC REGULATION OF THE INTERNET ADDS TO UNCERTAINTY IN MARKETPLACE
 

Washington, Nov 19, 2010 -

“Recent reports seem to indicate that the Federal Communications Commission may consider Chairman Genachowski’s job killing and investment freezing net neutrality proposal at the Commission’s December meeting,” stated Rep. Cliff Stearns, currently Ranking Republican on the House Communications, Technology and the Internet Subcommittee. 

“Ramming through Internet regulations would ignore the will of a bipartisan majority of Congress and the American public.  It would further impede economic growth and job creation.  Furthermore, since the December meeting agenda will be released next week when Congress is in recess, it appears that Chairman Genachowski is trying to slip it under the radar and hope no one notices.”
