While I heard about this coming to a vote a few days ago, the FCC has voted in favor for the rules today.

very true, i'm supportive of poorer areas getting internet service myself. The point of the internet was to be a free resource, supported by donations when it was invented. Google deserves to lose it's control that it's had and token advantage of for the last 8-7 years they have no right to have as much control. Same with ISPs, just because they so happen to own the pipes we use and with little competition.
