FCC adopts rules to eliminate 'digital discrimination' for communities with poor internet access

The Federal Communications Commission is implementing new rules banning internet providers from discrimination in how they provide service to communities based on income level, race and other protected classes

While I heard about this coming to a vote a few days ago, the FCC has voted in favor for the rules today.

    This is huge. The digital divide is still very real. We forgot about it because richer areas got gigabit, and brought the average up, but poor areas haven’t improved much since dial up.

    Cue predictable whining from telcos who no longer have a patsy installed in the FCC. Have a heaping helping of “obey the regulations,” followed by a hot steaming cup of my piss.
