Rep Waxman: Web fight doesn't have to kill telecom law update

Concerns over network neutrality don’t need to torpedo Congress’s work on updating the nation’s telecommunications laws, Rep Henry Waxman (D-CA) said. He added that that new Web rules “would be a real sticking point” for Congress but won’t necessarily prevent action on other areas. “There are other issues, and there can be a rewrite of the act without that being resolved,” Rep Waxman said, “but perhaps, even then, it could be resolved, given the fact that we start with the status quo of whatever the Federal Communications Commission will resolve on a majority basis.”
