Senate Democrats plan to force vote on net neutrality May 9th
Democrats in Congress have been against the FCC's repeal of net neutrality rules from the beginning. They've had the signatures in favor of restoring the rules since January, along with a companion House bill (with 80 co-sponsors). Senator Edward J. Markey also introduced a formal Congressional Review Act "resolution of disapproval" in February. Now, Markey tweeted that Democrats will force a floor vote restore the rules on May 9th.

a. something like a telegraph (people pay to send text messages to specific other people)
b. something like a stock ticker (wire runs from stock exchange to stock broker, causing a device to print on paper strips)
So (a) is two-way communication amongst a bunch endpoints. (a telecommunications service)
And (b) is one-way communication like a broadcast (an information service)
One of those sounds an awful lot more like the internet!
Guess which definition is going to be used in the future...
