The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) votes to classify internet service providers (ISPs) as public utilities, establishing net neutrality rules. This decision aims to ensure equal access to online content and prevent discriminatory practices by ISPs. Additionally, the FCC votes to preempt state laws in North Carolina and Tennessee that hinder municipal broadband providers from expanding their services, aiming to foster competition and improve broadband access across the country.
