#SubCommTech To Discuss Effects of the President's Net Neutrality Proposal
Statement
Issues: Technology and Communication
The Subcommittee on Communications and Technology, chaired by Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR), has scheduled a hearing for Wednesday, February 25, 2015, at 10:30 a.m. in room 2322 of the Rayburn House Office Building. The hearing is entitled, "The Uncertain Future of the Internet."
"The closer we get to the FCC rubber stamping President Obama's Internet grab, the more disturbing it becomes. Consumers, innovators, and job creators all stand to lose from this misguided approach. What's more, this plan sends the wrong signal around the globe that freedom and openness on the Internet are best determined by governments -- a far cry from decades of bipartisan commitment to light-touch regulation," said Walden.
