No link to provide, but you'll find coverage at both slashdot.org and
soylentnews.org :

The US government passed new legislation that enforces net neutrality
and outlaws 'internet fast lanes' and prioritization of certain kinds of
traffic.  It also allows the USG to regulate ISPs like a utility.

This is almost too good to hope for.  The good thing about being so
consistently disappointed by the USG over the past few years is that
when they get something right, you are filled with a sense of elation.
I'm amazed the corporate interests didn't win this one.

Naturally, the vote passed along largely party lines.

Off to pour myself a glass of scotch to celebrate.  This is a great day
for the Internet!
