Wired reports that the proposal has been slammed by everyone, everywhere on the political spectrum.

But goes on to note,
There was one group, however, that seemed pleased by the new rules: the nation’s cable and telecommunications companies, which have been making the rounds in recent weeks signaling their support for Chairman Julius Genachowski’s compromise deal.
Tuesday afternoon, the FCC will vote, and the measure will likely pass.
This time there is no one to call, no one to write letters to. (Not that it would matter)
The vote will be taken by the unelected bureaucrats at the FCC. The Washington Post notes:
The rules will give government, for the first time, a substantive role in how the Internet will be operated and managed, how broadband services will be priced and structured, and potentially how broadband networks will be financed. By replacing market forces and technological solutions with bureaucratic oversight, we may see an Internet future not quite as bright as we need, with less investment, less innovation and more congestion.
