Mike Doyle: “When will this subcommittee seriously consider the role of the edge providers either as common carriers in the internet…”

Well, thank you very much, Madam Chairwoman, and to both you and Chairman Pallone, for continuing this series of legislative hearings to move forward with common-sense solutions to protect consumers online, and to hold online platforms…

I look forward to doing that with my friends and colleagues on both sides of the aisle.

It is our responsibility on the subcommittee to highlight, as we have in so many hearings, the issues important to the people we represent.

I am also encouraged by FERC's efforts to finally establish an Office of Public Participation, as well as efforts to prepare for and combat cyber attacks on our energy infrastructure.
