In a vote on the morning of Thursday, February 26, the FCC has approved Net Neutrality.
In a story on Ars Technica (http://arstechnica.com/business/2015/02/fcc-votes-for-net-neutrality-a-ban-on-paid-fast-lanes-and-title-ii/) the FCC has voted to approve Net Neutrality and reclassify fixed and mobile broadband services under Title II as telecommunications services. As expected, the vote was along party lines.
It is expected that Verizon, AT&T, Comcast and others will sue to overturn the decision.
What say you Soylentils, is the reclassification of these services under Title II a good thing?

Um, I have never, ever, seen or heard of any place where consumers had a choice between multiple cable companies. Anywhere you go in America, if there's any cable service at all (there isn't in a lot of rural places, but there is in most urban and suburban places), you have precisely ONE choice for your cable provider, usually Comcast, Cox, or Time-Warner.
