Congress Picks New Internet Caucus Co-Head

Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.) has been named co-chair of the
Congressional Internet Caucus.

She joins Rep. Robert Goodlatte (R-Va.) on the caucus, which has a
bipartisan membership of over 150 representatives and senators.

Senate co-chairs of the caucus are John Thune (R-S.D.) and Patrick
Leahy (D-Vt.).

Republican House members have indicated they plan to be very
active on the Internet front, starting with trying to block implementation of
the FCC's new network neutrality rules.
