FCC Votes to Approve Network Neutrality

The vote was unanimous, despite the fact that the phone and cable companies, <Sarcasm> who are so beloved by Americans,</Sarcasm> were lobbying against it:

US communications regulators voted unanimously to support an open Internet rule that would prevent telecom network operators from barring or blocking content based on the revenue it generated.

The proposed rule now goes to the public for comment until Jan.14, after which the Federal Communications Commissions will review the feedback and possibly seek more comment.

A final rule is not expected until the spring of next year.
Needless to say, one of the best barometers in the business, John Sidney McCain III, is trying to stop them.
