James Assey (Senate Commerce Committee) says that the new House telcomm bill should have a “markup” before Easter. After Easter the Senate will start putting together a complementary package. Congress is trying to figure out “what the right rules of the road should be to create greater certainty and meeting consumer expectations.”

Josh Lamel (office of Sen. Ron Wyden) says that network neutrality is a contentious issue. (Wyden introduced a net neutrality bill.) “After BrandX and the FCC’s DSL order, there is no net neutrality. If we don’t address this through legislation, the status quo is that there is no net neutrality.”

Dana Lichtenberg (office of Rep. Bart Gordon) says Congress needs to think much harder about what net neutrality actually means.

Mike O’Rielly (legislative assistant to John Sununu) says Sununu is still trying to figure out what to do about net neutrality.
