Verizon (VZ) set off a wide debate in January over how the federal government should regulate the Internet by winning a legal challenge to the existing rules. It now looks possible that the company?s victory has paved the way for its political defeat.

He has said he wants to have new rules in place by the end of the year, meaning a vote could happen at the commission?s open meeting on Dec. 11.
