Companion legislation will be introduced in the Senate by Senator Ed Markey (D-MA). The Open Internet Order has been effective at preserving a level playing field where consumers have access to the content and services they want and online businesses are able to compete on the basis of cost and quality of their product rather than how much they can pay Internet Service Providers to block or throttle their competition,Congressman Doyle said in response to the FCC vote.Ive tried repeatedly to convince Chairman Pai to abandon his plans to dismantle the Open Internet Order most recently by organizing aletterfrom 118 Members of Congress urging him not to take this vote today and now that the FCC has voted to kill Net Neutrality andgive ISPs a green light to control access to the Internet, I will introduce legislation under theCongressional Review Actto overturn todays order and restore Net Neutrality. **** | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
