Ajit Pai trying to abolish Net Neutrality.
For those who may not know, Net Neutrality is the concept that all internet traffic should be treated as equal by ISPs. They can't deliberately favor or throttle your access speed, with some exceptions. But without Net Neutrality, they are free to treat your connection as they wish.
The X megabits per second you pay for? Presently they have to give you that at all time if are able (though they often can't). Without Net Neutrality? They can give you your X megabits per second...if they feel like it. Why wouldn't they though? Because $$$. They can throttle your access to parts of the web that they don't find to be profitable enough, and worse, they could even block you from accessing some sites at all for whatever reason they deem fit, politics, religion...or maybe you're trying to visit a competitor's website.
Losing Net Neutrality will devalue the internet plan you pay for, and make the internet less accessible, while enriching your ISP, which likely has few competitors or a local monopoly, and probably doesn't give you the full value of what you pay for already.
Why would Ajit Pai do this? Ask his former and future employers, your ISPs.
