WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Comcast Corp said on Thursday they oppose the Federal Communications Commission's proposal to reinstate landmark net neutrality rules, while major tech firms backed the plan.

The FCC in November voted to advance a proposal to assume new regulatory oversight over broadband internet rescinded under former President Donald Trump.
