Democratic  North Dakota Senator Byron Dorgan advocated for the continuance of net neutrality with his net-neutrality bill before the commerce committee, while the Federal Trade Commission chairwoman Deborah Majoras  argued that such legislation  would hamper the market and consumers alike. Internet service providers, such as AT&#038;T,  Verizon, and Comcast are opposed to net neutrality and would like to see the establishment of a tiered system of rate based internet access.  Proponents of net neutrality would  like to  provide equal access to all websites on the internet.

As one of the last acts of the DOJ under  former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales It was argued by the Departments Antitrust division that net neutrality could hamper the innovations and upgrades of internet service providers.
