House Commerce Committee Vice Chairman Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) said the Federal Communications Commission should delay its Feb 26 vote on reclassifying Internet access as a common carrier service under Title II in light of a Wall Street Journal report and the suggestion the Federal Communications Commission's new network neutrality order "may have been written behind closed doors at the White House." "Chairman Wheeler should delay the FCC net neutrality vote scheduled for Feb. 26," said Vice Chairman Blackburn. "There is much at stake, as Title II regulations will lead to billions of dollars in new fees and taxes. The seriousness of these allegations require Chairman Wheeler’s attention beyond a mere statement or press release in order to assure the public that the FCC was not unduly influenced by the White House.”
