Meanwhile, companies like Comcast and Verizon have already begun gearing up to reap the rewards of repealed net neutrality.

FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, a former Verizon executive, launched the agencyвЂ™s plan to roll back Obama-era net neutrality regulations. Like Republicans, theyвЂ™ve argued that consumers need legislative fixes rather than Federal Communications Commission controls.

вЂњConsumers want permanent, comprehensive online protections, not half measures or election-year posturing from our representatives in Congress,вЂќ said the group.Д«roadband and telecommunications lobbyists like UST have, in the past, tried to frame the return to net neutrality as an inherently poor idea. USTelecom, which represents AT&T, Verizon and Comcast, said the passed measure вЂњthrows into reverse our shared goal of maintaining an open, thriving Internet.вЂќ

вЂњYou are either for a free and open Internet or you are not.вЂќДЄjit Pai and several broadband lobbyists responded to WednesdayвЂ™s vote with cynicism, decrying DemocratsвЂ™ efforts as impediments to the free market and online commerce.

Republican leaders have themselves stipulated that net neutrality, if reenacted, should be codified by the legislature rather than bounced back into a mess of bureaucratic rules and federal agencies.Д«ringing back net neutrality in its old form may be a tough-sell, but The Verge and some analysts believe the ruleвЂ™s вЂbroad popularityвЂ™ could force congressmen and the president to switch sides. Nearly two dozen Republican representatives would have to abandon the party line to send the repeal to President Trump and the Oval Office.ДЄnd even if conservatives were to buck the dictate of the FCC, the commander-in-chief is unlikely to support any endeavor spearheaded by Democrats. Passage from the House, notes The Verge and New York Times, requires long odds. The resolution, writes The Verge, would roll back Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit PaiвЂ™s recent вЂInternet orderвЂ™ using the Congressional Review Act. вЂњIвЂ™m sure that every member of the House will want to know where their constituents stand on this issue.вЂќ Mike Doyle (D-PA), whoвЂ™s filing the petition.

вЂњWith majority leadership in the House opposed to this bill, the only way to bring it before the full House for a vote is through a discharge petition,вЂќ said Rep. While the effort seems doomed to eventual failure, liberals in the House have already taken up the effort and started collaborating on a discharge petition. On Wednesday, Senate Democrats, joined by three of their Republican colleagues, pushed through a measure intended to restore Obama-era rules on net neutrality.
