The Federal Communications Commission next month is planning a vote to kill rules demanding fair treatment of web traffic and may decide to vacate the regulations altogether. Chairman Ajit Pai in April proposed gutting the rules and asked for public reaction. The agency has taken in more than 22 million comments on the matter.
One of the people said Pai may call for vacating the rules except for portions that mandate internet service providers inform customers about their practices -- one of the more severe options that would please broadband providers. They argue the FCC’s rules aren’t needed and discourage investment, in part because they subject companies to complex and unpredictable regulations.
