FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler Tells Silicon Valley He’s Open To Obama Net Neutrality Plan

on

"Those at the meeting said Wheeler made it clear that he wanted to slow down the process. Marvin Ammori, a lawyer for the tech industry who supports net neutrality, said that while it was wrong to say that Wheeler indicated he’d be going in a different direction from the White House, the chairman did call for delaying the process. Ammori said he worries that delaying would undermine the possibility of strong regulations.

“At no point did Wheeler make it clear that he was going to buck the White House,” Ammori said. “He definitely tried to justify a delay and I think that delay is certainly not what the White House had in mind.”"
