U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone, Jr. (NJ-06), Ranking Member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, issued the following statement on FCC Chairman Wheeler's announcement on net neutrality:
"I want to commend FCC Chairman Wheeler for acting today to protect the free and open Internet. The FCC must move forward with this initiative; however, I remain open to working with my colleagues in Congress to find a truly bipartisan legislative solution. Whether through legislation or FCC action, I will not stop fighting to make sure the American people have the strong Internet protections they deserve."
