Marcia Fudge, quoted in the article, is also anti-net-neutrality. Minority leaders are often the targets of strategic influence campaigns on issues like net neutrality. It's possible this is a similar situation.
"In April of 2011, the House voted on a measure to prevent recent FCC rules regarding net neutrality from taking effect. The measure passed 236-174. Marcia Fudge voted against the resolution and therefore approved of the FCC rules regarding net neutrality."
It's possible she was successfully pressured to change her position. My point was more about corporate efforts to drive wedges between Democrats.
