He didn't read it!
That jerk Pai ran off at the mouth with his partisan comments indicating his corporate ownership, and admitted that he had not read the proposed regulations yet.
FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai used a Tuesday press conference to slam net neutrality rules that are expected to be approved by the regulator later this month. "I have studied the 332-page plan in detail, and it is worse than I had imagined," Pai told the room of reporters and tech policy analysts before giving six reasons why he …

2. It prevents per-unit charges for service, transfer caps, and other ways to monetize the end user.
3. Lets the FCC make ISPs do things they might not want to do.
4. Lawyers still exist and these rules don't stop them from maybe taking the ISP's money[*].
5. ISPs will have to file more paperwork and can't do whatever they want to "just because."
6. Taxes still exist and new ones might be applied to ISPs.
[*] Because up until now lawyers have shown so much restraint.
Sure. Unlikability is not a finite resource.
Personally, I don't expect much good or bad to come out of this whole dust-up, regardless of what happens with Wheeler's proposal. Not saying that it won't, just that I think it's improbable that any great change will be achieved one way or the other. Hegemonic capitalism is pretty robust, and slapping a few more regulations on a large and amorphous sector of it, or failing to do so, generally doesn't seem to make much difference in the medium term.
There are exceptions, but they're just that - exceptions.
