The Federal Communications Commission will drive a stake through its own net neutrality rules roughly this time next month, if Chairman Ajit Pai gets his way. Sources at Bloomberg and Reuters say the FCC’s head honcho will showcase plans next week for a vote to repeal a 2015 order regulating web traffic throttling. 

If Pai gets his way, the vote will go down just ahead of winter break, during the FCC’s monthly meeting on December 14 — a time of year when much of the public is likely to be preoccupied with other seasonal concerns. The FCC has declined comment on the reports.
