In a letter sent to key members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, NHMC joined other organizations to oppose any attempt to repeal the FCC's Open Internet rules through the Congressional Review Act. Utilizing the Congressional Review Act would not only eliminate the current FCC rules, it would eliminate the FCC’s ability to protect innovation, speech, and commerce on broadband platforms on behalf of the American people. Although NHMC has noted that the Open Internet principles adopted in December are far from perfect, use of the Congressional Review Act to repeal them would be a drastic set back in our fight for true net neutrality.
