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.

Yes you can write in names and I do that when I can't tolerate voting for either of the main two. Votes for third-party candidates are generally considered as wasted, write-ins even less important than that. I do believe that our Federal Constitutional republic is the best governmental form in history IFF it is being operated as designed. As it is being operated now, it is no better than most other bad forms. Populations have overthrown bad governments before even when active participation was less than a majority. Right now We the People are being deliberately fragmented by knowledgeable and well-funded psychopaths. They don't know the minimum effective percentage but they know they can increase fragmentation at will. That is what worries me.
