The U.S. Federal Communications Commission should delay its vote on net neutrality rules for at least a month after releasing Chairman Tom Wheeler's proposal for public comment, the commission's two Republican members said Monday.
Instead of voting on Wheeler's net neutrality proposal on Thursday, as scheduled, the FCC should open his 332-page proposal to the public "and allow the American people a reasonable period of not less than 30 days to carefully study it," Commissioners Ajit Pai and Mike O'Rielly wrote in a joint statement.
Wheeler, part of the three-Democrat majority on the commission, immediately rejected the request, however. The FCC received more than 4 million public comments on net neutrality during the past year, and they "helped shape" his proposal," he wrote on Twitter. "It's time to act."

No debate no discussion. They want to ram internet regulation down our throats.
Who the *&^* let dim-bulb-crats lead this? IF Bonehead lets this go through (and he will, of course, because he a spinless drunken b*stard), I will personally pay to attend his hanging.
And there better d*mn well be a hanging.
Uh-huh. In other words: 'They don't want it. They're afraid of it. Thanks for helping us make up our mind to go ahead and do it!'
Article I Section 1, the clause that established the American confederal republic is gone.
2014 likely viewed my last vote, my last participation in this charade posing as free government.
Just like they did 0bamacare!
The request from Pai and O’Rielly that Wheeler release his proposal echoes a similar request from congressional Republicans.
Then CALL the bastard before a select committee and FORCE him to READ the ENTIRE proposed new regulations into the PUBLIC RECORD, he will refuse, then JAIL him for Inherent Contempt while you IMPEACH and remove him.
repeat as necessary.
FCC = F*%$ Consumer Choice??
Yes, he wants to control the internet.
The larger reason? He needs a huge debate/distraction to erase ISIS, Immigration, and his Crusader comments from the headlines and fill the public's heads with another controversy.
He's done this Alinsky tactic all along.
Yup. It's a done deal already.
Federal agencies now make law and it needs to stop. Take names and addresses of those in DC who support this crap.
And by what authority do they have to regulate the Internet? I don’t remember Congress voting to give them the poser.
That would be practically every Congressman who has ever voted to create and fund a federal agency and gave it the power to create rules with the weight of law. In other words, all of them.
“Its time to act” means its time to grab govt control and throttle the conservative voices on the internet as well as tax the chit out of it.
The "poser" is in Washington D.C.
The Power remains with the Congress
and the ability to raise taxes remins with Congress. "Over-Reach" and "poser" will be the defineing characteristic in the history of this current adminsitration !!
I wish it were that simple. This is much worse than any of us understand. Pay very careful attention this week. I have a feeling much will change by the week's end.
Wtupid fat fingerw.
Been there , done that !
But you were still more accurately correct with the "Poser " !!
Tom Wheeler = scumbag enemy of the American people.
