Rep Boucher praises FCC, begins work on net neutrality bill

A Q&A with House Subcommittee on Communications, Technology and the Internet Chairman Rick Boucher (D-VA). He has an ambitious agenda: legislation that would limit the amount of information companies like Facebook and Google could collect from consumers; reforming the Universal Service Fund, the pool of money to which telecom companies contribute in order to provide services to libraries, schools and underserved areas; and he says public safety agencies need to be able to communicate across a national network, rather than the current patchwork of networks that do not work together.
