Representative Greg Walden, Chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, called for Congress to "legislate the rules of the internet" to end regulatory uncertainty. The hosts highlight this as a clear admission of the government's intent to exert authority over the web. They play clips of FCC commissioners testifying on their definitions of an "open internet."
