SUMMERS: Let’s just start with this. How big is this decision that happened last Thursday? Put it into context for us.

VAN SCHEWICK: This decision is a huge setback for American consumers and businesses that rely on the internet. And this decision strips the Federal Communications Commission of its authority over access to the internet – the most important communications network of our time. That’s as if the Federal Aviation Administration no longer had the power to oversee airlines like Delta and American. Think about it this way. The FCC can still protect you when you make a regular phone call but not when you use the internet. That’s a really radical decision.
