It applies to ANY company in the business of providing broadband network services.

The measure, approved by a vote of 20-13, would amend U.S. antitrust law. It would also counter a rival bill from another House committee that wants to encourage network providers to preserve consumers' ability to freely surf the Internet instead of adopting stricter rules.

The Judiciary panel has been tangling with the House Energy and Commerce Committee over jurisdiction on the Internet issue, dubbed "Net neutrality."

The Commerce Committee has already sent to the House floor a measure that includes provisions that would codify principles the Federal Communications Commission adopted last year that encourages Internet service providers to ensure consumers can go where they want to on the open Internet.

It was unclear how the House leadership would resolve the differences between the committees.

A bill (H.R. 5252) approved by the House Energy and Commerce Committee would authorize the Federal Communications Commission to police broadband providers through a complaint-driven process that provides for the agency to adopt regulations.
