A Net Neutrality investigation in Congress?

Yesterday, Matt discussed major conversions on net neutrality among columnists. Today, the AP is reporting that two senators are calling for committee hearings:

Sens. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., and Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, said the incidents involving several companies, including Comcast Corp., Verizon Wireless and AT&T Inc., have raised serious concerns over the companies' "power to discriminate against content."
They want the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee to investigate whether such incidents were based on legitimate business policies or unfair and anticompetitive practices and if more federal regulation is needed.

Senator Dorgan already features Net Neutrality on his website, but an investigation could be a signficant step forward.
