The Net Neutrality Verdict Is In: We Won!

"The people have spoken, the courts have spoken and this should be the last word on Net Neutrality. The companies and Congress should listen to the will of the people, follow the law and let the FCC do its job. But if and when opponents of the open internet try to take their case to Congress or the Supreme Court, we remain committed to continuing the fight alongside the millions of Americans who are dedicated to preserving an internet that’s open to everyone.

Now it's time to take the fight for a universal, affordable and open internet to the next level.

We need the FCC to enforce its rules. We will continue shining a light on ISP abuses, uncover any new Net Neutrality violations, and bring formal complaints to the agency about broadband providers' unreasonable schemes.

And just because we've won the right to do that doesn't mean our opponents will quit. Whether the fight moves to Congress or the Supreme Court we'll be there to defend the open internet ... and with your help we'll win."

No wait... what?

Everything stays the same except they can't obviously put their thumb on the scale?

Just how much are my fees going to go up for this fantastic feature?
