The FCC officially votes to kill net neutrality

The order was passed today by the FCC with a vote of 3 to 2.  The Open Internet Order and the net neutrality protections it established will be eliminated. The FTC now controls the rules for blocking and throttling content. Commissioner Rosenworcel stated “This decision puts the Federal Communications Commission on the wrong side of history, the wrong side of the law, and the wrong side of the American public.” Hopefully all the memes at have been going around about having to spend more money to get to sites like Netflix and Amazon don’t come true. Now we must wait and see what the ISP providers will do with their new power.
