House GOP Passes Anti-Net Neutrality Bill Despite Obama Veto Threat
http://motherboard.vice.com/read/house-republicans-anti-net-neutrality-bill-obama-fcc
Brushing aside a veto threat from President Obama, Republicans
in Congress passed a controversial bill on Friday that public
interest groups say would kneecap federal net neutrality
internet protections. Open internet advocates call the "No Rate
Regulation of Broadband Internet Access Act," which was approved
in a 241-173 vote largely along party lines, just the latest GOP
attempt to undermine federal rules protecting net neutrality,
the principle that all content on the internet should be equally
accessible.
