Net neutrality rules face mounting GOP opposition.

Republican opposition is mounting as federal regulators prepare to vote this month on so-called "network neutrality" rules, which would prohibit broadband providers from favoring or discriminating against certain types of Internet traffic flowing over their lines.

GOP to FCC: analysis first, then net neutrality rules—maybe

The Republicans have declared themselves the Party of No Neutrality with a series of statements and Senate amendments trying to block the policy at the FCC. The latest pushback comes from Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-FL), calling for the agency to do a "market failure analysis" before enacting any non-discrimination rules.
