The FCC will reveal vote to repeal net neutrality this week

The new rules are expected to be announced on Wednesday, whilst most Americans are distracted by getting home to loved ones for Thanksgiving.

This will then be followed by a vote on 10 December, which would see the 2015 rules designed to protect the internet being torn down.

[...] The important point, as we've said before, is that once the genie is out of the bottle, getting it back in is almost impossible and for our readers outside the US, don't think this doesn't affect you - everything that passes through US servers will be affected in some way and will knock on to you.

    I despise Trump, but to say that Obama brought about some excellent economy is nonsense. Economic inequality is higher than ever. Dodd-Frank was an incredibly weak set of regulations. Obama was a corporate puppet, but not to the extent that Trump is. If you're looking for someone to praise, a politician probably isn't it.
