0The FCC could kill US net neutrality as soon as December.
Federal Communications Commission chief Ajit Pai is prepping to schedule a vote in December to nullify net neutrality principles in the US, which are currently in place to prevent internet service providers from blocking or delivering traffic from various sources at different speeds, reports Reuters.
According to the publication’s sources, Pai is slated to reveal his plans next week; an FCC spokesperson declined to comment on the matter.
The FCC chairman has had his sights set on slaying net neutrality since before he was appointed head of the agency. In January, word of his intentions to repeal the guidelines enforced since 2015 got out, and in April, he outlined a plan to do so in his new position.
