Why should I care about net neutrality?

Jessica Rosenworcel, a Democratic member of the Federal Communications Commission, talks with Kara Swisher and Lauren Goode about the FCC's upcoming vote on the future of net neutrality. The Commission's chairman, Republican Ajit Pai, is hoping to roll back regulations implemented under President Obama, which would ask internet service providers to be transparent about how they manage their services — but not prevent them from throttling speeds or blocking websites, for example. Rosenworcel explains her opposition to the repeal, which is expected to succeed when it is held on Dec. 14, and why enforced neutrality is better than transparency. She also answers questions from readers and listeners about what happens next, why she doesn't believe the issue should be divided along Democratic-Republican lines and how America's rules affect the rest of the world.
