FCC readies vote on government takeover of internet

The Federal Communications Commission will vote today on whether to classify the internet as a "utility" for purposes of regulating net neutrality. The new regulations will clear the way for government domination of the internet and could radically alter the fundamental manner in which the internet operates.

The Hill:

For supporters, the new net neutrality rules will provide the clearest restrictions to prevent Comcast, Verizon and other Internet service providers from interfering with people’s access to view any website or online service they choose.
“We’re on the eve of a historic event at the FCC,” Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. (D-N.J.) said during a Wednesday morning hearing on the rules. “Tomorrow, the commission is set to put into place what will be the strongest Internet protections consumers have ever had.”
