Ajit Pai was an excellent person out front on this, well spoken, understands the issues on this. At the root of all this is not "Internet Speed" but suppression of free speech and bureaucratic oversight of the Internet. This approach by the Trump Administration is right in line with his goal of decreasing the amount of legislation and oversight on the books. As an aside, check out this graphic to demonstrate how well the Trump Administration is doing:

This graph shows additions to the Federal Register (the comprehensive collection of US laws and statutes) by Presidential Year

Or this one showing the number of pages in the register:

The point to those is to show this stance by the FCC is completely in line with conservative principles of Freedom of Speech, Small Government, and promoting Capitalism (competition and reducing costs to the consumer) all of which benefit us as US Citizens.

Anyway, here are a few links to interviews of Ajit Pai (FCC Chair), and some images below about the company we would keep if we support "Net Neutrality".

This one is not bad in spite of being a PBS interview, because the guy tries to snare him with various common liberal tropes, but Agit Pai answers convincingly and well: Ajit Pai FCC Director on PBS

This one on Fox News is a little better in respect to why repealing Net Neutrality is good for business, good for the economy, and most of all, good for the consumer. Plus, it has the added advantage of a very attractive woman interviewing him...:) Ajit Pai on Fox News Business

Going back to my point about taking notice of who is FOR "Net Neutrality" (an Ayn Rand-ish dystopian government name for legislation if there ever was one) take a look at these protest pictures (the Internet is full of them):

These Leftists are honest, even if they haven't got the balls to show their faces. This is, of course, the end goal of every single one of these people in the images shown below, whether they admit it or not, or even if they don't know it:

Gee whiz...the Raised Fist emblem...where, oh where, have I seen THAT before? Oh, it is missing the rose in the fist, that is why I didn't recognize it.:

LEAVE MY BODY...er...MY INTERNET ALONE!:

Ah, the good old Guy Fawkes mask, a staple of the Left these days, even if they have no idea who he was. They like the movie...:

Obamian Drones for Net Neutrality!:

ARRECK BAHLWIN (TEAM AMERICA): "But...The, the, ...global warming and... corporate greed, and..."

Indian IT Lives Matter!:

This one I found funny...calling on the gone and departed Obama to save them from Corporate Greed!:

Ajit Pai and Trump saved the internet.

This net neutrality crap was a soros communist scam

great graphs . what site ?

Government agencies like the FDA,EPA , FEC, IRS etc. are a cancer and unconstitutional. amazing so many freepers and conservatives were fooled by this net neutrality crap that is just a lot of heavy handed government regulation and oversight.

Ronald Reagan was right : Government is not the solution to any problem government is the problem.

I'm glad Trump is reducing government regulations . They were choking the economy and our freedom. i’m amazed at the amount of freepers i had “debates” with on this net neutrality crap. Why do they love government regulations? government is a cancer as the gov schools and comey, clapper, sessions , venezuela etc. prove .

The number in the federal registry graph is especially
informative:

As you can see every democrat president greatly increased the pages of government regulation . Trump has reduced them the most Then Reagan reduced them. And Obama wow look at obama’s
last year that commie creep exploded the number of regulations that year more than any year ever. I guess he wanted to cripple the economy more. Those government regulations were choking the USA economy and our freedom. Net neutrality was supposed to choke the internet . Hope Trump is able to keep reducing regulations at this rate . from the graph looks like he is down to when clinton got elected who of course increased them a lot.

I hope that is enough to counter the FEd's agressive and imo out to get Trump raising interest rates.people tell me the fed is not political . oH yeah? look at a graph of rates. The Fed kept the rates near zero for practically all of obama 's 8 years. if that's not political then what is? so what we had under obama was a bubble fake economy fake stock market covered by fake news and fake science(global warming). we have been living in worse times than 1984 and the matrix. Hopefully Trump can pull us out but the fed is dangerous and the only thing that might ruin the party crashing their own fake economy

This gives me hope. Trump reduced in 1 year the number of pages of government regulations to around 60,000 the same as Clinton’s first year his lowest count. obama had that at 90,000 pages of government regulations.

Hope that’s enough from the FEd crashing their own fake economy they created politically for Obama as for 8 years they kept interest rates near zero creating a fake economy.
Now I know for hillary they would have kept them at zero or increased at a slower pace. don’t think they need to increase at this rate with only 2.0 gdp . so it’s politcal

Today, Friday, December 29, 2017, is the last federal workday of the year.

This presents an opportunity to round up all rules and regulations produced by agencies appearing in the calendar-year 2017 Federal Register

The calendar year concluded with 61,950 pages in the Federal Register this morning. Here’s the cover.

This is the lowest count since 1993’s 61,166 pages. That was Bill Clinton’s first year, and his own lowest-ever count.
