Gigi Sohn says Dems will use oversight on net neutrality

Benton Senior Fellow and Public Advocate Gigi Sohn said that the new Democratic-majority House will probe the handling of net neutrality by the Trump administration.  She noted that Democrats are “angry” with the Federal Communications Commission repealing the rules that protected consumers from slowing or blocking internet content.

"This FCC has had a very, very easy two years," said Sohn. "I think there's going to be oversight both on the substance of what the FCC has done and also on the process. On the substance, net neutrality. So this is the principle that your internet service provider shouldn't be able to block, throttle or otherwise discriminate against particular internet content. The FCC repealed the rules that we adopted in 2015, in 2017, and that has made Democrats very, very angry."
