In an impassioned speech given in Washington, DC, Pai did not detail a direct replacement for the rules, but issued a notice of proposed rulemaking to the rest of the agency that will reverse the their current classification of internet service providers (or "ISPs") as utility-like telecommunication services under Title II of the Communications Act.
