House Hearing Will Show FCC's Character

[Commentary] Congress and the public will learn a lot about the Federal Communications Commission tomorrow. All five commissioners are due to testify before the House Communications Subcommittee at a general oversight hearing. It's basically open season for any member of the subcommittee to ask any question about anything the Commission does. This is the time the Commission has to stand firm in defense of a couple of primary principles. Anything less will signal a fatal weakness that this Commission can be rolled by any industry and any industry's friends, as well as by ideological opponents. The principles at stake are an open Internet (Network Neutrality), localism and diversity.
