J. T., Communications Daily—a premier telecom industry trade press read by insiders—just gave net neutrality advocates a headline to cheer about.

“Title II Reclassification of Broadband in Some Form Seen as Nearly Inevitable Move by FCC”

If industry insiders are calling Title II reclassification of internet access “inevitable,” this means we have made huge progress toward a real victory for the open internet, Daily Kos, democracy, and all of us.

Don't take anything for granted—keep the pressure on the FCC. Please, click here to send FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler an email urging him to use Title II authority to classify internet access as an essential communications service. We can win this!!

More from the article:

What FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler and his team will propose on net neutrality remains unclear, industry and agency officials said in interviews this week. The officials agree the most likely proposal remains some iteration of Title II reclassification of broadband, possibly based on proposals by Mozilla and Columbia Law School professor Tim Wu, an early proponent of net neutrality.

The story goes on to outline exactly why we need to keep the pressure up—the agency hasn’t finalized its legal argument and they could still go with watered down rules which won’t stand up in court.

Keep up the pressure so we get the strongest Title II-based net neutrality rules possible from the FCC. Sign and send an email to the FCC now.

Keep fighting,

Can someone pretend i'm a klingon or some caveman for a moment and explain to me using small words this is still a thing. My guess is it's related to money.

Klingons are not regulated by the FCC, having their own, separate government. Or did you want someone to explain it to you in tlhIngan Hol? As for the caveman, it is a misunderstanding of early hominid culture, settings, and appearing and needs to die the death as a stereotype.
However, as a modern citizen (optionally without a preexisting internal context of history and technical & legal issues) of the United States of America (or a world citizen affected by the actions of the US government/citizens/corporations), you may be interested in this.
