Stearns: A la Carte, Network Neutrality Quiet

Rep Cliff Stearns (R-FL), the ranking Republican on the House Telecommunications & Internet Subcommittee, said he doesn't think there will be any congressional action on a la carte or network neutrality in this session of Congress and advised that unless it wanted to kill innovation and upset a vibrant marketplace, the Federal Communications Commission shouldn't do anything, either. [In a press release, the FCC replied that it has always been against innovation and a vibrant marketplace, so there.] National Cable & Telecommunications Association president Kyle McSlarrow praised Rep Stearns for being in cable's corner on a la carte, leased access and network neutrality. "He has been a great advocate for free markets," he said.
