    Good news for all of the internet, but this war is just heating up.

    How long until they try to defeat it again?

      AT&T already announced they knew it would end up going to the Supreme Court and they are looking forward to the appeal.

      I'd say next year,tops.

      The court’s decision upheld the F.C.C. on the historic declaration of broadband as a utility, the most significant aspect of the rules. That has broad-reaching implications for web and telecommunications companies and signals a shift in the government’s view of broadband as a service that should be equally accessible to all Americans, rather than a luxury that does not need close government supervision.

      “After a decade of debate and legal battles, today’s ruling affirms the commission’s ability to enforce the strongest possible internet protections — both on fixed and mobile networks — that will ensure the internet remains open, now and in the future,” said Tom Wheeler, chairman of the F.C.C., in a statement.

      Excellent!!!! I love how they thought they had Wheeler in their back pockets...What a ride this has been!

    Personally I hope it goes before this current Supreme Court before Clinton or Trump get to appoint somebody, it's damn refreshing to see cases heard where there needs to be a compromise rather than a majority rule.
