Our constituents want us to focus on getting broadband out to close the digital divide.

In my district as in many others across the Nation, our constituents want us to focus on getting broadband out there to close the digital divide.

I look forward to hearing from all the witnesses, today, and as we move forward on a long-awaited legislative compromise.

This is the offer, by the way, that has been on the table that preceded Mr. Wheeler's 2015 proposal.

The uncertainty generated by these years of net neutrality wars is very unhelpful to that goal.

It throws away 20 years of bipartisan consensus that built the modern internet and it replaces it with an authority that dates back to the early 1900s used to govern monopoly telephone companies.

My colleague, Mrs. Rodgers, has a bill that would give you the Washington State net neutrality rules from 2018.

There is unique common ground on which to build enduring net neutrality rules and we should seize the opportunity rather than squander it.

Moreover, a bill that includes Title II will rupture any hope of bipartisan legislation in a divided government.

Is that truly the model we hope to emulate for the internet?

We have compelling evidence that utility regulations will mess things up.
