Rep Walden worried FCC will reclassify broadband if network neutrality struck down in court

Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR) is concerned that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will regulate broadband under Title II of the Communications Act if the courts strike down its network neutrality rules. The agency had previously considered the more stringent Title II approach last year before ultimately deciding to write net neutrality regulations using Title I. The House Communications Subcommittee chairman said on an episode of C-Span's "The Communicators" series, released March 10: "The FCC still keeps open this Title II proceeding so if they lose the court case, there's this GPS locator that says, 'go over here and regulate the Internet as a common carrier using Title II. We've already got the proceeding open to go down that path. Otherwise, why wouldn't they close that proceeding?"
