CNET: FCC chairman’s net neutrality fix: ‘Clinton-era light touch’

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai wants a do-over of the rules governing net neutrality.

But he’s trying to keep an open mind about the proceedings.

“I don’t have any predetermined views as to where we’re going to go,” he said in an interview with CNET on Thursday. “That’s the reason that we call it a notice of proposed rulemaking. It’s not a decree.”

That may come as a surprise to consumer advocates and Democrats, particularly the ones who fought to get the existing rules put in place back in 2015. Pai, who was in the minority as one of two Republicans commissioners back then, has called the existing regulations “a serious mistake.”
