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 don't know why the above is moderated -Troll instead of +Informative.
    Looking from outside, it is entirely consistent with the ethos of (a significant part of) the population which enable those things to happen.

    Yes I know "for any question there is a simple elegant and wrong answer" (to use paraphrasing) - but there haven't been any other answer so far.

      Poe's law implies funny (by parody)
      It would be funny, if it wouldn't be so sad.

    Which is the essence of a good troll. Thanks for the compliment!

      It tipped me off when you wrote "cunt" instead of "cuck."

      This was awesome. Anyone can have an opinion. Expect to be mocked for it.

        Yup. Opinions are like assholes. Everyone's got one.

        As an aside, if one does mock your opinion and you can't muster the arguments to effectively refute them or at least mock them back effectively, you might want to think more critically about the value of that opinion.
