COMPTEL Supports Vote Set for Thursday on
Open Internet
This Thursday the FCC is scheduled to vote on Chairman Wheeler's proposed open Internet rules. Last week, Chip Pickering, COMPTEL CEO published an op-ed in the Hill, highlighting that both Republicans and Democrats support Open Internet principles and supporting FCC Chairman Wheeler's proposed light-touch policy approach. COMPTEL also submitted a letter to the FCC defending the Chairman's proposal to ensure that ISPs cannot use interconnection to undermine the Open Internet principles. Additionally, the FCC will consider a Memorandum Opinion and Order addressing petitions filed by two municipal broadband providers asking the FCC to preempt state laws that restrict the ability of communities to provide broadband service. On Wednesday, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee will hold a hearing on "The Uncertain Future of the Internet."
