This is a news story that will really play out in the weeks and months ahead, but about 5 minutes ago the FCC voted in favour of net neutrality. This is a huge deal for the sustained growth of the internet.

Here's a quick video explaining the background to the vote and just why it was so important for them to have made the decision they did...
