House Communications and Technology Subcommittee Chairman Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) announced plans to introduce a net neutrality bill soon. “Everybody is for a free and open internet, and that is what we want to preserve," Chairman Blackburn said in a video released on her Twitter page the same day as the FCC vote. "You can look for legislation next week where Congress will do its job. We will codify the need for no blocking, no throttling and making certain that we preserve that free and open internet.” Sen. John Thune (R-SD) and Rep. Mike Coffman (R-CO) are among those who have also signaled an interest in developing legislation of some kind to enshrine the rules into law. Most Republican supporters of net neutrality legislation are looking to codify a standard that's weaker than the now-overturned rules.
