Depending on where you are in the world, either today or yesterday was a historic day. The Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, voted 3-2 to approve regulating the internet according to Title II provisions, effectively classifying the internet as a neutral gateway for information. This is a big win for the American people. Unfortunately, many people don't understand truly what Net Neutrality means. To find out more information, I highly suggest resources such as the Huffington Post, Save the Internet, or even Wikipedia to find out more.
Today was a great day for Net Neutrality proponents, but there are still future battles to be won. Lawsuits from internet carriers are very likely to happen, as is Republican opposition to the new plan in Congress. For the time being though, this is a fantastic step in the right direction to guaranteeing neutral internet access for all Americans.
