The FCC has tried to regulate net neutrality. As expected, a Federal court says nobody can require net neutrality. From the NY Times:

The decision, by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, specifically concerned the efforts of Comcast, the nation's largest cable provider, to slow down customers' access to a service called BitTorrent, which is used to exchange large video files,

This means Comcast can now subvert Skype telephone calls. Means that without congressional action, Comcast and the other duopoly players - the last mile providers - can now subvert internet access to maximize profits. Net neutrality is at risk in with a Congress driven by the objective of "want Obama to fail." A problem created starting in 2000 when Powell and the FCC decided to protect big internet businesses (Verizon, Comcast, Time Warner) at the expense of Covad, NorthPoint Communications, Rhythms NetConnections, etc. A problem made worse because the last mile providers can now subvert and control the newest technology - interactive TV.
As posted earlier, this is the data transporters attempting to subvert the information providers. People who wanted to surcharge Google now have the right to (barring a Supreme Court review). Or as the NY Times notes:

The ruling would allow Comcast and other Internet service providers to restrict consumers’ ability to access certain kinds of Internet content, such as video sites like Hulu.com or Google’s YouTube service, or charge certain heavy users of their networks more money for access.

This ruling was expected.
The FCC really had little right to demand net neutrality. Having subverted the 1996 Federal Communications Act (Clinton's effort to created net neutrality and what made a 15 year old technology called DSL possible) and now undermining the FCC, big business has the right to increase America's internet prices which have been rising significantly compared to the rest of the world. Another legacy of the George Jr administration. Despite wacko extremists who will reply, that is when attackes on net neutrality started and were encouraged by the White House.
