The Republican-controlled FCC has scheduled a vote on the rollback for Dec. 14 that is almost certain to pass along partisan lines. There are three Republicans and two Democrats on the commission. The measure will reclassify the internet as an "information service" and not a utility, and would dismantle formal rules banning companies from blocking web sites or throttling internet traffic. It also would allow for "paid prioritization" of internet traffic, or what critics call fast lanes and slow lanes for favored content.
