According to a report on [URL=http://arstechnica.com/telecom/news/2010/05/73-democrats-tell-fcc-to-drop-net-neutrality-rules.ars?comments=1#comments-bar]Ars Technica[/URL], 73 House and Senate Democrats have sent a letter to Federal Communications Commission chairman Julius Genachowski telling him not to move forward with a plan to reclassify broadband under old telecom rules. The move was seen as a new way to regulate Internet Service Providers, while avoiding legal action by Telecom companies.

The letter implores the FCC to halt its plans - a move that the Chair of the FCC and Net Neutrality proponents see as a vital step. In the letter signed by Texas Congressman Gene Green and co-signed by 72 other top Democrats including Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) and Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA), leading Dems urged the FCC to take more time and direction from lawmakers, and that resulting regulation from a reclassification of Broadband could jeopardize jobs and "deter needed investment" in the sector.
