HR 5252 passes by a vote of 321 to 101 HR 5252 has passed by a vote of 321 to 101 and must be passed by the Senate or reconciled with a different Senate bill in a conference committee. No date has been set yet for these actions. Given the limited amount of time in the current Senate legislative schedule, no broadband bill may make it into law this year.
The law as passed would set up a national video franchise system overriding local laws; let the FCC determine what net neutrality is on a case by case basis; and let the FCC extend the USF to VOIP if it so desires.
P.S.> 106 Democrats voted for HR 5252.
P.P.S.> If any Senate bill moves forward this year it will likely be S.2686 sponsored by Sen Ted Stevens of Alaska. It would be very similar to the House bill according to Stevens.
