Net Neutrality: FCC Reclassifies ISPs as Common Carriers (SocialTimes)
After months of planning and political wrangling, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has finally voted on net neutrality rules to reclassify Internet service providers as “common carriers,” which means that ISPs are subject to the same rules as other utilities. FishbowlDC It was a 3-2 decision.
