Dingle Speaks Out For Net Neutrality

Congressman John Dingle (D-MI), the longest serving member of congress (elected in 1954) spoke out against a Republican sponsored internet bill that would serve as a "giveaway to the special interests."

Dingle blasted the legislation for allowing internet providers to discriminate against cheaper websites and sparsely populated areas with poorer service.

Dingell stressed an important point: the GOP bill would have put all internet restrictions under the supervision of the FCC, the most overwhelmed and unorganized agency in Washington.
