Republican Federal Communications Commissioner Robert McDowell will testify at a network neutrality hearing on May 5 that existing antitrust laws are sufficient to prevent abuses by service providers.
Commissioner McDowell will argue that:
- Nothing is broken in the broadband Internet access market that needs fixing;
- Congress never gave the FCC the legal authority to act as it did;
- The order is likely to cause more harm than good; and
- Sufficient antitrust and consumer protection laws exist to prevent and cure any of the contemplated harms outlined in the order.
