House lawmakers from the Energy and Commerce Committee held their first hearing on net neutrality today, and while most said they agreed with several key concepts, a clear partisan divide emerged over what “net neutrality” rules should look like.
Lawmakers have long fought over how to reinstate the net neutrality rules, whether through a measure that would roll back the Federal Communications Commission’s 2017 repeal of the rules or through legislation that codifies the rules themselves. But it was clear today that Democrats and Republicans are no closer to a bipartisan solution than they were last year.
“Dèja vu all over again,” Rep. Pete Olson (R-TX) said. “We fight, fight every fight and do nothing about net neutrality.”
