The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is set to vote today on a plan to repeal net neutrality, the Obama-era regulations that require all internet providers to treat web traffic equally.

If the vote is approved, broadband internet companies will be classified as Title 1 information services, giving them the power to restrict access or slow down certain websites. It could also lead to the rise of so-called internet “fast lanes,” or the prioritization of websites for companies willing to pay extra.

Despite months of public outcry (and a last-minute, overnight protest), it’s very likely the 3-2 Republican majority FCC—led by chairman Ajit Pai—will vote to dismantle net neutrality rules.

If you want to live stream the vote to watch the death of live streams as we know them, here’s what you need to know.
