Reps Ben Chandler (D-KY) and Alan Grayson (D-FL), who each support network neutrality rules, each sent letters to Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski to say he should not bring broadband under the more stringent "Title II" legal framework that currently regulates telephone service. Both say Congress, rather than the FCC, should clarify the legal framework around broadband services. The existing framework was cast into confusion in April after a federal appeals court decision struck down an FCC attempt to enforce net neutrality policies.
