The Federal Communications Commission's net neutrality rules will be no more in two months: The agency has taken the final step in removing the regulations from its rule book.

But that may not be the end of the story. Dozens of groups are expected to file lawsuits challenging the repeal, and Democrats in Congress will push to reverse the FCC's action.

On Thursday, the FCC published the final notice of the repeal in the Federal Register, which starts a 60-day clock until the rules are removed. The effective date for the repeal is April 23. The FCC voted to repeal the rules on Dec. 14.

    I think it is somewhat similar to Stockholm syndrome.

    In many of those Red states, big businesses have impoverished many of the people, eliminated any other jobs and then push the view that people must vote in ways that favor the remaining big companies. Those big companies turn around and screw over the voters even more.
