Missouri House of Representatives strongly opposes the FCC's net neutrality rules adopted on February 26, 2015, which reclassify ISPs and wireless data providers as public utilities

The resolution argues the rules will create a two-tiered internet system allowing large ISPs to charge online companies for faster content delivery, disadvantaging smaller and newer companies

Concerns cited include potential higher fees for ISPs that would be passed on to consumers, and authority for the FCC to set prices and collect fees on broadband services

The resolution directs the Chief Clerk to send copies to FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler and all members of the Missouri Congressional delegation
