As we predicted<\/a> from the start, so-called “Net Neutrality” continues down its path toward inevitable defeat.<\/p>\n

Today, the House Energy and Commerce Communications and Technology Subcommittee voted by a lopsided 15-8 margin<\/a> to overturn the rogue effort by Obama’s FCC to add the Internet to the Administration’s laundry list of commandeered industries.\u00a0 The American public opposes “Net Neutrality” Internet regulation by two-to-one margins<\/a>, a court of appeals unanimously<\/a> ruled it beyond the FCC’s proper authority and a bipartisan group<\/a> of 300 members of Congress instructed the FCC to refrain from this abusive effort.\u00a0 Despite those realities, the FCC arrogantly voted in December to impose “Net Neutrality,” just as the Obama Administration seeks to impose card check<\/a>, carbon cap-and-tax<\/a> and other unpopular schemes via unaccountable and unelected federal agencies.<\/p>\n

Today’s resolution will now proceed to the full House Energy and Commerce Committee, and a similar legislative effort to overturn “Net Neutrality” is underway in the Senate.\u00a0 Meanwhile, a lawsuit<\/a> proceeds in the same court that last year overturned “Net Neutrality,” meaning that the only question now is whether this ill-advised bureaucratic overreach will meet its end legislatively or judicially.\u00a0 Either way, it can’t come soon enough for investors in our nation’s critical Internet sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
