On Thursday Febuary 26th 2015, the FCC (Federal
communications commission), made a dession to keep the
internet free and neutral.
Up for debate was a controvercial law. The contovercial
law would have made the internet a two tear system.
On one side of things, the law would have made it like
the cable companies. A pay more get more system. The more
you paid the more web sites you would be able to access.
Speed of the internet was also included in this law. The
more money you paid the faster your service. Therefore,
leaving the poor at yet another dissadvantage.
The new law up for vote was called "paid prioritasation".
Both democrats and republican lawmakers were vocaly
against the idea.
The FCC voted to have net neutrality instead. The FCC is
planning to enforce net neutrality by complaints recieved
and investigating of those complaints.
