WASHINGTON - Democrats in Congress unveiled a bill on Wednesday to reinstate landmark net neutrality rules repealed by the Federal Communications Commission under U.S. President Donald Trump.
“It is a fight that we can win,” said Senator Ed Markey, a bill sponsor, at a Capitol Hill news conference. “We are on the right side of history. We will not give up.” The bill would repeal the order introduced by FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, bar the FCC from reinstating it or a substantially similar order and reinstate the 2015 net neutrality order, a fact sheet said. Pai did not immediately comment on Wednesday.
House Republicans Greg Walden, Bob Latta and Cathy McMorris Rodgers said in a statement that both parties believe “a free and open internet is fundamental to our society.”
