Democratic FCC Commissioners Ask Wheeler to Slow Down Net Neutrality Proposal

    Federal Communications Commission chairman Tom Wheeler may have just
    hit a snag in rushing his net neutrality proposal into the procedure
    pipeline at the May 15 meeting.  On Wednesday, both Democratic
    commissioners Jessica Rosenworcel and Mignon Clyburn pushed back on
    Wheeler's net neutrality proposal. They represent critical votes that
    Wheeler needs in order to move the proposal forward.  Both are being
    bombarded by consumers that are worried Wheeler's proposal doesn't go
    far enough in preserving an open Internet. In a blog post, Clyburn
    noted that "over 100,000 Americans have spoken" via email, calls and
    letters.  Rosenworcel, citing the outcry, said she thought the
    commission should delay consideration of the rules by at least a
    month.
