Amendment 6 passes giving FCC authority on net neutrality

Amendment 6 passes by a vote of 353 to 68.
6. Smith, Lamar (TX): Clarifies that the language in section 201 (i.e. the new section 7l5(b)(3) of the Communications Act) that gives exclusive authority to the FCC to adjudicate complaints concerning network neutrality does not affect the applicability of the antitrust laws to cases involving network neutrality or the jurisdiction of the courts to hear such cases.
This gives FCC power to decide on net neutrality issues. But doesn't change power of justice dept to look at net neutrality issues where antitrust laws are concerned.

Amendment 7 would put specific "net neutrality" language in bill HR 5252. This vote comes up next. It is expected to fail, thereby leaving the FCC to determine what net neutrality is or isn't.

If 5252 passes, there is still the Senate vote. If they approve of net neutrality in their version it will need to be worked out in committee. Probably won't get that far though.

What I learned from watching the debate on C=Span is that Rep. Gonzalez is a complete tool of AT&T. But what do you expect from the congressman from San Antonio. The biggest joke was his amendment that failed to be passed by the Rules committee yesterday that would have forced net neutrality on the content providers instead of the network providers.
