FCC plans to vote to overturn U.S. net neutrality rules in December: sources

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The head of the Federal Communications Commission is set to unveil plans next week for a final vote to reverse a landmark 2015 net neutrality order barring the blocking or slowing of web content, two people briefed on the plans said.

Ajit Pai, Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, testifies before a Senate Appropriations Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S., June 20, 2017. REUTERS/Aaron P. Bernstein

In May, the FCC voted 2-1 to advance Republican FCC Chairman Ajit Pai’s plan to withdraw the former Obama administration’s order reclassifying internet service providers as if they were utilities. Pai now plans to hold a final vote on the proposal at the FCC’s Dec. 14 meeting, the people said, and roll out details of the plans next week.

Pai asked in May for public comment on whether the FCC has authority or should keep any regulations limiting internet providers’ ability to block, throttle or offer “fast lanes” to some websites, known as “paid prioritization.” Several industry officials told Reuters they expect Pai to drop those specific legal requirements but retain some transparency requirements under the order.

An FCC spokesman declined to comment.

Internet providers including AT&T Inc, Comcast Corp and Verizon Communications Inc say ending the rules could spark billions in additional broadband investment and eliminate the possibility a future administration could regulate internet pricing.

Critics say the move could harm consumers, small businesses and access to the internet.

In July, a group representing major technology firms including Alphabet Inc and Facebook Inc urged Pai to drop plans to rescind the rules.

Advocacy group Free Press said Wednesday “we’ll learn the gory details in the next few days, but we know that Pai intends to dismantle the basic protections that have fueled the internet’s growth.”

Pai, who argues the Obama order was unnecessary and harms jobs and investment, has not committed to retaining any rules, but said he favors an “open internet.” The proposal to reverse the Obama rules reclassifying internet service has drawn more than 22 million comments.

Pai is mounting an aggressive deregulatory agenda since being named by President Donald Trump to head the FCC.

On Thursday the FCC will vote on Pai’s proposal to eliminate the 42-year-old ban on cross-ownership of a newspaper and TV station in a major market. The proposal would make it easier for media companies to buy additional TV stations in the same market.

Pai is also expected to call for an initial vote in December to rescind rules that say one company may not own stations serving more than 39 percent of U.S. television households, two people briefed on the matter said.

Bad, they refuse to let this go, just keep brute forcing it until people get too lazy to fight it

"we could make so much money if we gated this free thing behind paywalls & subscription fees to do exactly the same thing -- and if you dont agree you're stopping investment!"

even if Pai actually believes the investment bullshit, its myopic as fuck, the internet is one of the few good outcomes of this tech hell we're in, and they want to literally throttle the bandwidth & breathing room people have for services, businesses, enterprise, and learning for a quick buck

Net neutrality is fine theoretically but reclassifying ISPs under Title II in order to accomplish it is bad policy.

Brother, suppose two pathetic twink bois went to Pounders and they both sucked off American IFNB star Matt Boyer. But one of them sucked his BIG HOSE for just 30 minutes, and the other sucked Boyer's FUCKTUBE for 90 minutes and drank a voracious amount of HOT CUM. Shouldn't the second twink owe the gym more in fees?

I'm guessing since Google and Facebook support Net Neutrality rabidly that it is a good thing it will be overturned or limited.

It is my guess that the Trump administration is trying to low key regulate and hamstring overly powerful tech companies.

You see the new tax bill taxing stock options, FCC ownership rules being altered for media and now this.

if this were the end of the internet, don't you think google and facebook would make a bigger deal about this? they would blast NN stuff on their front page and every other page. they would send a thousand lobbyists to harass every senator and house rep. the fact is, they're virtually dead silent on this issue. only histrionic limp wristed libs care about this "issue".
