“the interesting irony about this is that the bill, as written, does not regulate or tamper or mess with anything on the Internet. The amendment that we are discussing here is the regulation of the Internet. And I agree with the Speaker beforehand. There is not an issue today on prioritization along the network or through the pipelines. I look at it like, this amendment, if it was brought up 100 years ago, would have froze the Pony Express into that permanent state. But yet, we all know that later on developed first class mail, airplane, FedEx, UPS and a variety of different ways to deliver to the consumer. I say, let's wait until there is a discriminatory process that is put in place, that is anti-consumer and trying to guess that something that, we don't know what, may happen in the future. Let's not regulate the Internet today. Let's defeat this amendment.”
