FCC to Take on Net Neutrality?

Is the Federal Communications Commission about to tackle the controversial issue of net neutrality?

The issue has been swirling around the Capital all week, prompting a number of congressional leaders to issue statements reminding the FCC that taking steps to regulate the Internet was out of bounds and out of line at a time when Congress will not be in session.

The FCC moved its monthly meeting from Dec. 15 to Dec. 21, signaling the regulatory body may be taking more time to consider taking up net neutrality before the year is out.

“An extra week will help us evaluate potential agenda items for December,” said an FCC spokesperson, who declined to go into details or confirm that net neutrality would be on the agenda.
