Ajit Pai on Congress's role in the net neutrality debate

Coverage Type: 

A Q&A with Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai.

Asked about Congress' role in the network neutrality debate, Chairman Pai said, "Well a few years ago after one of the court rulings in 2014, I suggested that, you know, I think Congress would be well-positioned to take hold of this issue and just figure out what the rules of the road are going to be long-term. And I think in the past couple of months, we've seen increasingly a desire from all sides of the debate to involve members of Congress. And obviously if Congress sets the rules in statute, then the FCC, the American public, is duty-bound to follow it. And so we'll see what they do in the time to come."
