The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission is set to testify Thursday in front of a Senate oversight committee.
Pai's expected grilling comes as a result of his and his agency's response to the FCC's server outage last year.
At the time, the FCC was soliciting public comments for Pai's proposal to repeal the agency's net-neutrality rules.
As you probably know by now, net neutrality is the principle that all data on the internet should be treated the same.
The FCC's rules barred internet service providers from blocking, slowing, or speeding access to particular sites and services.
The FCC's servers were overwhelmed after comedian John Oliver focused on the net-neutrality debate in an episode of "Last Week Tonight."
He launched that effort soon after taking over as head of the agency under President Donald Trump. »
