The Markey bill on net neutrality would undo the FCC’s recent decision repealing title 2 regulation on the issue. This is something I completely support. Preserving net neutrality is extremely important, and the FCC decision was a transparent giveaway to the communications industry at the expense of the everyday internet user.
For some fantastic info on why it’s a bad idea to repeal title 2 protections, and threaten net neutrality, I would suggest reading Commissioner Clyburns comments in her extended dissent on the FCC decision, which can be found here:

It’s interesting that we see Senator Kaine as a co-sponsor of the Markey bill, but not Senator Warner. Senator Kaine has been more vocal than Senator Warner on this issue in the past, so maybe I shouldn’t be surprised. As our best shot at correcting the horrible decision by the FCC is for Congress to overturn it, I have called Senator Warners office and asked them to support the Markey bill, and would ask everyone else in Virginia to as well.
