Booker, King team up for net neutrality push: Sens. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Angus King (I-Maine) penned an op-ed calling for the Federal Communications Commission to reclassify broadband Internet as a public utility, arguing the future of our democracy and economy depend on it. They pointed to endorsements along the political spectrum from President Obama to conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, in a 2005 opinion. Both senators have previously supported the reclassification under Title II of the Telecommunications Act. Any approach that stops short of reclassifying broadband under Title II will not allow the FCC to adopt the rules we need today to protect customers and businesses, and will result in high social and economic costs, they wrote on CNNs website.
