The F.C.C. is expected to repeal net neutrality.
The Federal Communications Commission will vote on Thursday on a proposal to repeal landmark broadband regulations known as net neutrality, rules that ensure an open internet. The plan, put forth by the commission’s chairman, Ajit Pai, is expected to pass on a 3-to-2 party line vote. The reversal of the Barack Obama-era rules would free broadband providers to create new pricing tiers for the delivery of web content to consumers and to charge for faster and better quality video streaming. Mr. Pai has proposed that the broadband companies reveal their business practices and that the Federal Trade Commission police the industry for anticompetitive behavior. Cecilia Kang
