Trump Taps Anti-Net Neutrality Ajit Pai to Chair FCC
----------------------------------------------------

Trump has tapped Federal Communications Commissioner Ajit Pai to be FCC
chair. Pai is a fierce opponent of net neutrality rules, which seek to
keep the internet open and prevent corporate service providers from
blocking access to websites, slowing down content or providing paid fast
lanes for internet service. Activists fear Pai may now roll back net
neutrality rules adopted by the FCC in recent years.
