Markey Calls For Hill Bill Or 'Third Way'

On September 1, Rep Ed Markey (D-MA) registered his concerns about allowing what he called "discriminatory fast lanes" and said that excluding mobile broadband from an open Internet framework could "widen the digital divide."

He said that if Congress does not step in "this month" with a legislative fix, the Federal Communications Commission should go ahead and reclassify broadband under some Title II common carrier regs, the so-called "Third way" proposal by FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski.
