(Ajit Pai was a Verizon council lawyer)
As Eric1600 pointed out, Ajit Pai is an industry insider. Who do you think he owes his allegiance to? It's not the consumer. As I read elsewhere, putting him in charge of the FCC was not a case of the fox guarding the henhouse, it's effectively replaced the fox with a weasel.
Internet providers under the new rules will be able to throttle your bandwidth. What does this mean? If you have Spectrum as your internet service provider for example, and they also offer cable TV service but you prefer a better, more affordable package from Sling TV, HULU TV, or YouTube TV, Spectrum will be able to legally reduce the bandwidth for those providers to your home making the video choppy or poor quality, forcing you to buy their TV service if you want a clear full definition picture.
It will be the same with Internet phone service or any number of future applications.
