Wireless and cable trade groups welcomed a Republican proposal for open-Internet legislation as an alternative to regulations backed by President Barack Obama.
Trade group officials supported the congressional proposal in testimony submitted for hearings Wednesday in the U.S. House and Senate. Lawmakers are to weigh a proposal that sponsors say would prohibit blocking or slowing of Web traffic by Internet service providers, and forbid preferential treatment for payment, or paid prioritization.
