A lack of support by the Republicans killed Net Neutrality legislation this week. The legislation was to be a quick fix to protect net neutrality while Congress was trying to find a more permanent solution. The bill would have prohibited wireless broadband providers from blocking Websites, as well as applications that compete with voice or video conferencing and restore for two years the FCC’s authority to prevent blocking of Internet content, applications and services. “If our efforts to find bipartisan consensus fail, the FCC should move forward under Title II,” Waxman said. “The bottom line is that we must protect the open Internet. If Congress can’t act, the FCC must.”
