re: FCC Votes in Favor of Net Neutrality Rules, Broadband Service is Now a Utility

Net Neutrality itself is a good thing. The way it was achieved adds a layer of bureaucracy that goes beyond Net Neutrality.
This will likely be tied up in court for a while. The last two attempts to reclassify the internet were blocked in court. The head of the FCC also admitted that these regulations which at their core are 80 years old and were last updated in the mid 90's don't apply well to broadband. He said they are the best tool available but they will have to selectively enforce regulations that actually make sense for broadband. No one knows what that means yet, and since it is an interpretation it is up for debate with each new head of the FCC.
