The U.S. Federal Communications Commission will vote to reinstate landmark net neutrality rules and assume new regulatory oversight of broadband internet that was rescinded under former President Donald Trump, the agency's chair said.
The FCC told advocates on Tuesday of the plan to vote on the final rule at its April 25 meeting.

Didn't Obama install ajit pai?

Probably didn't have a choice. I imagine the Republicans would've thrown a fit and blocked any other nomination.
