Verizon stores could be busier than usual Thursday - protesters plan to converge at the company's stores throughout the nation as part of a last-ditch effort to save net neutrality rules.

The FCC is scheduled to vote next week to repeal regulations established under President Obama in 2015. Those rules prohibit internet providers from establishing fast and slow lanes online, and from favoring certain content over others. Net neutrality means treating all online content equally.
