Ready to See ISPs Cheering? Watch live Now

Despite all the efforts from attorneys general, senators and lawmakers to delay the vote on the repeal of net neutrality protections the vote is happening very soon. The repeal is to make ISPs stronger, to strip FCC of its powers, and to enable big corporations and internet providers to pick what gets to be free or not and what in internet gets the bandwidth or not and it may lead to a whole “new internet.” The FCC will officially vote on this repeal later today. The five (3 Republicans, 2 Democrats) commissioners at the FCC will meet at 10:30 am ET, 7:30 am PT. If you want to follow the meeting. >>> the vote will be livestreamed here. <<<

Lawmakers from all sides have reached out to Ajit Pai, Chairman of the FCC, to delay the vote and let it be resolved by the elected members of the Congress. The vote seems to be for the repeal and powering the Internet providers. FCC’s repeal of net neutrality sure will face lawsuits mainly because the Commission disregarded public comments. The Commission received an overwhelming number of comments from the public, however, isn’t going to take those views in considerations. New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman had repeatedly asked the Commission for access to the systems or logs that could help law enforcement to verify the validity of those comments – the FCC had previously claimed that it was a victim of a cyberattack and that many comments were fake. Schneiderman’s office released analysis showing that at least 2 million comments stole real Americans’ identities, voting in favor of the repeal.
