President Barack Obama says his administration "expects" that the Federal Communications Commission will not allow Internet service providers to offer multiple tiers of service.

.

Speaking at a town hall in Santa Monica, California on Thursday, Obama reiterated his support for net neutrality, or the principle that all Internet data and traffic should be treated equally. Asked by a questioner at start-up incubator Cross Campus for his thoughts on the issue, Obama said he opposes paid prioritization of Internet service.

.

"I made a commitment very early on that I am unequivocally committed to net neutrality," Obama said. "I think it is what has unleashed the power of the Internet and we don't want to lose that or clog up the pipes."

.

He continued: "My appointee, [FCC Chairman] Tom Wheeler, knows my position. I can't now, that he's there, I can't just call him up and tell him exactly what to do. But what I've been clear about, what the White House has been clear about is that we expect whatever final rules to emerge to make sure that we're not creating two or three or four tiers of Internet. That ends up being a big priority of mine."

Wheeler, a former telecommunications industry lobbyist nominated by Obama to lead the FCC last year, has said he too opposes paid prioritization, downplaying his differences on the issue with the president. However, critics say the proposed regulations would create a tiered Internet, with telecommunications giants benefitting the most. Consumer advocates have called on Wheeler and the FCC to instead reclassify Internet providers as public utilities, thus eliminating the threat of tiered service.
