Yesterday, the FCC passed the net neutrality regulations by a 3-2 vote after FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski obtained the backing of the agency’s two Democratic commissioners on Monday. The new regulations will take effect early next year and are designed to guarantee broadband web users equal access to all websites, online services and applications and prohibits internet service providers from blocking sites. Genachowski said yesterday’s vote by the FCC was historic. “For the first time we’ll have enforceable rules of the road to preserve Internet freedom and openness,” said Genachowski. President Obama also hailed the FCC’s vote as a benchmark, saying the government would “remain vigilant and see to it that innovation is allowed to flourish, that consumers are protected from abuse, and that the democratic spirit of the Internet remains intact.”
