Demonstrator Margaret Flowers holds a sign in support of net neutrality outside the Federal Communications Commission headquarters in Washington, D.C., this past May. Congressional Republicans are starting to line up in opposition to new net-neutrality rules supported by the Obama administration, contending that the effort to classify internet providers as utilities is a regulatory overreach and will stifle innovation, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal.
