Of the 239 Republicans in the US House of Representatives, only 107 added their names to a letter released this morning supporting FCC Chairman Ajit Pai’s plan to repeal net neutrality rules. I'd hardly call that a longstanding GOP policy wish.

I am not sure about that but that's my guess.
Yes Obama appointed Pai (on McConnell's recommendation, go figure) but the title of FCC Chairman was given out by our current president. I can assume that being appointed "chairman" gives Pai a higher step stone to shout from.

It's interesting how a 5 person jury determines Net Neutrality's fate.
