The FCC's 3-2 vote last month to adopt the new regulations will affect how Americans use and do business on the Internet. And new taxes are expected.

"They're going to be a number of different effects over the coming months and years … Most immediately what is going to happen is that the FCC has now explicitly opened the door to an increase in the tax that is going to be placed on broadband," Pai said.

"I would imagine in the next month or two we're going to see for the first time taxes placed on broadband bills. Your bill is going to go up. In the longer term, some of the more incidental effects are going to be a reduction to the amount of competition.

"Some of the smaller Internet service providers are going to find it more difficult to stay in business."
