Via SaveTheInternet.com.

The election results are good news for anyone who cares about the free and open Internet.

Reps. John Dingell (D-Mich.) and Ed Markey (D-Mass.) β€” both strong supporters of Net Neutrality β€” will most likely take command of telecommunications policy when their party reclaims majority power in the House in 2007.

According to a report today in MultiChannel News, Dingell and Markey β€œare poised to take control after House Republicans were trounced at the polls Tuesday night, restoring Democrats to power for the first time since 1994.”

Dingell should be seated as chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, the panel that oversees phone, cable operators and Internet companies.
