Congress has been absent on the subject of net neutrality, but reports say both the Democrats and Republicans will announce new bills in the next two months, before the FCC makes its decision on net neutrality.

Both sides have little information on the FCC's final decision, although reports say Chairman Tom Wheeler is warming to the idea of Title II reclassification under common carrier for all broadband providers, similar to President Obama's proposal.

It follows a failed attempt by the FCC to create a hybrid net neutrality plan, putting requests from telecom companies and public advocacy groups in the middle, but neither side liked the new proposal.

The FCC will announce its final decision in February, but not before both the Democrats and Republicans announce potential bills for net neutrality.

The Democrats will offer a new bill set to block internet service providers from tampering with delivery speed and "paid prioritization", the bill is backed by Sen. Patrick Leahy and Rep. Doris Matsui, alongside other Democrats.

The Republicans are also working on a new bill, allowing the FCC more direct authority to regulate net neutrality, but without the Title II reclassification.

However, not all Republicans are pleased with the move to regulate broadband providers, with some asking for no regulation. Both the Republicans and the Democrats must attract liberals and other members of Congress, to win the majority.

The FCC is still the main focus, even if both parties want to control the future of the internet. Its announcement in February is highly awaited by both sides, and could change the face of the U.S. internet forever.
