Democrat Representative Ed Markey attempted to pass an amendment to the Communications Opportunity, Promotion and Efficiency (COPE) Act of 2006 to prevent network operators from overreaching to other internet users and businesses, but the amendment was voted down. The House Committee on Energy and Commerce was debating this issue. CEOs from Amazon, Yahoo, Microsoft, Google, IAC, and eBay sent a letter to the co-chair of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation to explain the importance of net neutrality. Many other political groups gathered to rally congress on this issue.
