House Communications Subcommittee Chairman Doyle: Net Neutrality Will Be First Subcommittee Hearing

New House Communications Subcommittee Chairman Mike Doyle (D-PA) said that network neutrality will be the subject of the first subcommittee hearing under his chairmanship. In a speech to the State of the Net conference in Washington, Chairman Doyle called network neutrality one of the preeminent digital rights issues and said he plans to continue to fight to restore the rules. He said Internet service providers have "far too much" control over American's connection to the internet and whether it is slowing Netflix or anticompetitive zero rating plans, the track record of ISPs is clear and consumers need protection.
