Question on the reclassification of Title II
.@markedwards @MarkeyMemo Sup Ct makes clear that FCC gets to reclassify if it has a good reason to - plenty of good reasons here

.@evan7257 @markedwards Good example from AT&T of the last century buying Western Union - and then favoring its services! #AskEdSusan

.@jacobwhiteAR Broadband barons shouldn’t play traffic cop, discriminating against some, while letting those who can afford to fly past.

.@jacobwhiteAR When someone rents an apartment or buys a house, what can’t he or she live without? Electricity, water, & broadband!
— Ed Markey (@MarkeyMemo) February 17, 2015
.@markedwards @scrawford It’s likely but I'm confident @FCC is on solid legal ground & that its #NetNeutrality rule will be upheld by courts

.@Phillynewrocker #AskEdSusan Telco/cable lobby fighting entire *idea* of oversight. Totally logical from their perspective.

.@demandprogress No, ISP providers said the FCC’s adoption of Title II would not influence the ways their co’s invest. #askEdSusan

@scrawford @MarkeyMemo Would not a legislative solution to #NetNeutrality be far more durable than regs based on #TitleII ? #AskEdSusan

.@LnxRocks @scrawford Congress gave @FCC tools to protect an open Internet. I believe @FCC will vote to make 2.26.15 Internet Freedom Day!

.@egbee This is why we need more competition & municipal broadband. #AskEdSusan
