Key House Republicans Demand Wording of Neutrality Proposal

摘要

Incoming House Commerce Chairman Fred Upton, R-Mich., and Greg Walden, R-Ore., the nCommunications Subcommittee's next chairman, asked FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski to nrelease the text of the net neutrality draft order before next week’s meeting. "You have said nthat you want to make the FCC more transparent and data-driven, and we commend you for nyour efforts," they wrote the chairman. "The unique history and character of this proceeding, nhowever, demands an extra level of transparency that can only be accomplished by allowing nthe American people, public interest groups, and industry to review the item itself prior to nadoption." Despite "reams of paper filed or scores of meetings held -– or perhaps because of nthem" the public has not had a "realistic and fulsome chance" to study the order, they wrote.
