Senator Leahy calls FCC net neutrality vote a Christmas gift

Vermont Senator Pat Leahy says a day before the Federal Communications Commission was to vote on reversing it neutrality that the neutrality is a simple principle that the initiate Internet should be kept free and open by preventing corporations from controlling connections, that repealing the rules would benefit just a few, powerful corporations, that FCC Chairman Ajit Pai had failed to heed his own advice by not holding public hearings, and that if he took the time to listen, he will hear from small business owners saying all should be protected for the competition.
