"Leading the charge is Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), the chairman of the newly reconstituted panel on Intellectual Property, Competition and the Internet. Goodlatte, also the co-chair of the Congressional Internet Caucus, recently told POLITICO that his new panel plans to break out of the gate quickly with hearings to examine the “competitiveness of various industries,” particularly those on the Web.
Near the top of Goodlatte’s list is the Federal Communications Commission’s new open Internet rules that requires network operators to treat all Web traffic equally. As Goodlatte’s Republican colleagues on the Energy and Commerce Committee lambaste the new regulations — rules that Chairman Fred Upton (R-Mich.) has promised to repeal — the Virginia GOPer said his panel is also eying the FCC’s rules."
