Nancy Pelosi urges FCC to reclassify broadband as a utility

(Verge): http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/8/6123801/pelosi-urges-title-ii-classification-of-broadband

    A good number of politicians have recently made statements in favor of
    net neutrality, but House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is going
    further than most of them today and asking that the Federal
    Communications Commission reclassify broadband as a utility using
    Title II of the Communications Act -- exactly what net neutrality
    advocates have been pushing for. In a letter to FCC chair Tom Wheeler,
    Pelosi writes that Title II is "an appropriate tool to refine modern
    rules," and that it can do so without the FCC overburdening broadband
    providers.
