Republicans to grill FCC chief on Google 'Wi-Spy' probe

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski will face tough questions about his investigation into a privacy breach by Google during a House hearing on March 30, according to a House aide.

The aide said Rep Tom Graves (R-GA) is expected to question Chairman Genachowski on an apparently-lagging FCC probe into the infamous Google Wi-Fi data breach. The FCC probe was announced to great fanfare in November but has yet to produce any publicly available results. Chairman Genachowski, who is testifying on the FCC budget, is also expected to take questions on whether the government should fund the implementation of network neutrality rules. Republicans say the agency overstepped its authority when it passed the controversial rules last year.
