After a seven-and-a-half hour mark-up hearing, the House Commerce Committee voted to repeal the Federal Communications Commission's Open Internet/network neutrality rules. The party line vote was 30 to 23. Democrats oppose the measure and offered a number amendments to the resolution -- amendments quickly scrapped as non-germane by the Republican majority.
