The California Public Utilities Commission put on hold on Sept. 11 its plans to submit reply comments to the FCC supporting its net neutrality Title II NPRM. CPUC's decision came on a vote to overturn an earlier 3-2 decision to submit comments urging the commission reclassify broadband as a Commu nications Act Title II service and use that authority in conjunction with other authorities as jurisdictional basis for new net neutrality rules. Commissioner Carla Peterman, who had originally voted in favor of reclassification, decided later in the meeting to abstain, tying the vote 2-2. The tied vote means any comments are on hold, a CPUC spokeswoman said. Commissioners Mike Florio and Catherine Sandoval voted in favor of the staff’s set of recommendations, while CPUC President Michael Peevey and Commissioner Michael Picker voted against them.
