A Blast From Barton

By Bruce Mehlman

Via Multichannel News, Rep. Joe Barton (R-Tex.) — the ranking member of the House Energy & Commerce Committee — had some strong words for the FCC regarding its Title II efforts:

“It is inexcusable that the FCC chairman is trying to reclassify broadband service under the pretext that the commission lacks authority to implement aspects of the national broadband plan when he should instead be focusing on bipartisan aspects of the plan that he clearly has authority to move on, such as reducing antiquated voice service subsidies.”
