Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., wants FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler to leave Washington to hear other U.S. voices speak about net neutrality. Markey said during a Wednesday news conference at the Capitol the FCC should “reach beyond the D.C. Beltway, and tour the country to hear from consumers and stakeholders about the importance of a free and open Internet,” according to a text of his prepared remarks. “It’s time for the Chairman to hold net neutrality roundtables throughout the nation.” He appeared with Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., and several industry representatives, speaking on net neutrality and the need for Title II reclassification.
