>It's time for Congress to legislate the rules of the Internet, and stop the ping-pong game of regulations and litigation

Sure. Great initiative, but yet once again the request places the interests of the end users in the hands of organizations that have dramatically different incentives than they do.

You wouldn't field an inquiry into Flint's broken water supply without consulting with the citizens who are expected to drink the water itself.

Still, better than nothing.

This is congress attempting to appeal to some of their biggest customers.

As much as I think there are better ways to find a solution, at least an effort (or the appearance of an effort) is being made.
