Next Week's FCC Oversight Hearing Postponed Until Next Congress

The House Commerce Committee postponed its Dec. 10 FCC oversight hearing, a committee aide told us. The Communications Subcommittee had sought all five FCC commissioners and planned to focus on net neutrality. Lawmakers postponed the hearing for scheduling reasons, the aide said, referring to the delay in the agency's consideration of its net neutrality order. That delay will allow lawmakers to track that proceeding and question FCC commissioners in the next Congress, the aide said, saying that hearing would be closer to when the agency decides on net neutrality rules.
