The U.S. House of Representatives has voted to restrict the FCC’s ability to regulate how Internet service providers manage their networks, a move that could endanger net neutrality if it were to pass both houses of Congress.
House Joint Resolution 37, “Disapproving the rule submitted by the Federal Communications Commission with respect to regulating the Internet and broadband industry practices,” passed the House with a vote of 240 to 179, mostly along party lines. The resolution specifically condemns the Federal Communications Commission’s new net neutrality rules and “prohibits such rule from having any force or effect.”
