The Federal Communications Commission repealed net neutrality (http://mashable.com/2017/12/14/net-neturality-fcc-vote/) in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, which prohibited powerful telecoms from charging more for faster internet access.*
But 3,000 miles away, in California, State Senator Scott Wiener announced plans to buck the FCC's decision by introducing California's own net neutrality rulesIn a Medium post (https://medium.com/@Scott_Wiener/now-that-the-fcc-has-repealed-net-neutrality-lets-adopt-it-in-california-fa3bd02101ee), Wiener said he will spend the next 60 days considering the best regulatory options and then introduce a law early next year.*
