Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai may present his proposal to gut Obama-era net neutrality rules as soon as this month, a person familiar with the regulator’s emerging plan said.
Pai this week discussed stripping his agency of strong authority over broadband providers and leaving responsibility for fair treatment of web traffic with the Federal Trade Commission, two people familiar with an April 4 meeting between the Republican regulator and broadband trade groups said on Friday. The people requested anonymity because the proposal has not yet been made public.
