FCC Will Vote on Net Neutrality Thursday Despite Protests

Despite protests on all sides and calls to delay consideration, the Federal Communications Commission will almost certainly bring chairman Tom Wheeler’s net neutrality proposals to a vote on Thursday morning.  

Sources close to the situation say that Wheeler would not bring the controversial proposals forward at the FCC’s meeting if he was not sure he'll be able to get the three votes needed for passage (his own, plus two of the four other commissioners).
