The latest from industry shill and House Energy and Commerce Vice Chair Marsha Backburn (R-Corporate Mouthpiece):
..."When FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler said last week his agency would rewrite its net neutrality rules, Blackburn, R-Brentwood and vice chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, was immediately critical, saying the federal government should keep its hands off the Internet. She also introduced legislation to block the FCC from implementing new rules on the issue. Other Republicans also have introduced bills.
The federal government cant figure out how to build a website. How do you figure it would control your access to the Internet? she said in an interview.
Blackburn says only a hands-off approach from Washington will foster a competitive market among service providers as well as the innovation and investment to improve the Internet experience for all."
