On December 14th, The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will vote on a proposal that would revoke Obama-era rules protecting the web from consolidation, slower speeds, and potentially, censorship.

The order, titled Restoring Internet Freedom, would only provide freedom to telecommunications monopolies seeking to place internet consumers in an even tighter stronghold. It would allow companies like Verizon and Comcast to grow even bigger, in addition to empowering them to force online services to fork up exuberant fees for uninterrupted service.

But FCC Chair Ajit Pai sings a different tune. He claims that the order would create more opportunity for smaller Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to compete, when in fact, it would do the complete opposite. According to a 2016 report released this year by the FCC itself, more than half of all U.S. households either don’t have a choice when it comes to which ISP they’d like to use, or don’t have web access at all in their “service area.”

This monopolization of web access will only get worse if the FCC rules in favor of this order in mid December, which it is appearing likely they will.

The public comment period for overturning net neutrality ended several months ago, but many say Pai failed to properly respond to them during the comment reply period. According to a study conducted by consulting firm Emprata, 98.5% of the comments received during this period came from unique and legitimate sources, and supported the current classification of ISPs under Title II of the Communications Act (which Pai’s plan would upend).

Despite this, Pai has brushed off this overwhelming public consensus, and is moving forward with the ruling in three weeks.

According to Pai’s office, the amount of “spam” that came in with these comments invalidates those that did come from real people. When asked about those comments that did in fact come from individuals who fully completed the comment form with name, address, and contact information, an FCC official told press that the sentiment reflected in these comments had no bearing on Pai’s considerations for this proposal. A total of 21.766 million comments were received during the public comment period.

As December approaches, Title II supporters continue to vocally oppose Pai’s order. 237,209 people have signed a Change.org petition to #SaveTheNet, and over 270,000 calls to Congress were made today alone through Battle For The Net, a coalition formed by Fight For the Future, Demand Progress, Free Press, and Engine Advocacy.

On December 7th, one week before the ruling is scheduled to occur, protests will take place across the country at Verizon retail stores. (Pai is a former top lawyer for Verizon, a company he continues to support through policies such as the Restoring Internet Freedom order. Verizon is one of the biggest spenders in D.C. when it comes to lobbying for policies and legislation that enable telecommunications giants to continue growing.)
