The FCC may vote to overturn 2015 rules that prohibit internet service providers from having more control over content. People opposed to the change worry service providers will throttle some content — or perhaps block it altogether.

for Dec. 14 states:

The Commission will consider a Declaratory Ruling, Report and Order, and Order that will restore Internet Freedom by returning broadband Internet access service to its prior classification as an information service, and reinstate the private mobile service classification of mobile broadband Internet access service. The item also will eliminate the Commission鈥檚 vague and expansive Internet Conduct Standard, along with the bright-line rules. Additionally, it will modify the transparency rule to promote additional transparency, while eliminating burdensome and unnecessary requirements.

If rules established in 2015 are overturned, Wu says it may come down to individual states or even cities to enact their own net neutrality regulations.

Wu says it would be tough to imagine cities such as Seattle without net neutrality rules. He says there could be a ballot initiative to restore net neutrality — and more than 50 percent approval would be likely. Of course, a lawsuit challenging such an initiative would be possible.

But, just like the citywide income tax, Seattle has proven that it isn’t afraid to fight for what it wants.
