Here’s the latest sign network neutrality is becoming a political football in Congress

Republicans charged with overseeing the Federal Communications Commission are lashing out at President Obama's proposal for ensuring network neutrality, the principle that all Web traffic should be treated the same by Internet service providers.

In a letter to the FCC, House Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) and Senate Commerce Committee Ranking Member John Thune (R-SD) take aim at Obama's endorsement of aggressive regulation for broadband providers, adding fuel to a growing political dispute between the GOP and Democrats over the future of the Internet. "You are being asked by some to reclassify broadband under Title II of the Communications Act," the members wrote to FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler. "This isn’t sound policy and would almost certainly mean another trip for the FCC to the Court of Appeals."
