A committee spokesman said the bill gave the FCC ample enforcement authority, including fines.

"The bill has more teeth than a pit bull, starting with full Title V enforcement authority for the FCC to investigate cases and slap violators with fines up to $25,000 a day," said Larry Neal, the committee's deputy staff director for communications.

"What it doesn't have is a blank check for bureaucrats to write so many regulations that they'll choke off brand-new services even before consumers try them out."
