Rep Blackburn Makes Pre-emptive Attack on FCC Network Neutrality Order

Rep Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), who sits on the House Commerce Committee, vowed to work to overturn any network neutrality order that the Federal Communications Commission may vote on in December. "This is a hysterical reaction by the FCC to a hypothetical problem," Rep Blackburn said. FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski "has little if any congressional support for net neutrality." Rep Blackburn said that Chairman Genachowski can expect "this folly" to be overturned next year. In order to make that happen, Blackburn said she will reintroduce her bill to "pull the FCC from the policy making process on the first day of the 112th Congress."
