There are two interesting stories centered on “FCC: Survivor” this morning, and we’ll roll them up into a single post. First, the House has followed through on its threat to restrain the commission from enforcing authority in a jurisdiction Congress never granted it. An amendment to the continuing resolution passed last night that bars funds from being used to enforce Julius Genachowski’s “Open Internet” rules:
The House passed an amendment Thursday that would bar the Federal Communications Commission from using any funding to implement the network-neutrality order it approved in December.
The amendment, approved on a 244-181 vote, was offered by Energy and Commerce Communications and Technology Subcommittee Chairman Greg Walden, R-Ore., to legislation that would fund government agencies for the rest of fiscal year 2011.
