House Votes Against FCC Net Neutrality Regulation (But It's Probably Safe For Now)
Last December the FCC approved its "Preserving the Open Internet" regulation to ban blocking of websites or web services by broadband providers, while being equally vague about what the new restrictions held for mobile carriers like Verizon and AT&T.As we said in December, Republicans had vowed to give the loophole-filled rules hell when the Congress turned more Republican in January.Today we see the fruits of their efforts, namely the voting through ofHouse Joint Resolution 37, a regulation that would prohibit the FCCfrom having any authority over ISPs and broadband, thus overturning December's regulations.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/T6A9IHgwo7c/
