The FCC will be ruling on whether or not broadband internet access will be classified as a "telecommunications service under Title II."
This means that the ruling will decide whether or not the FCC will classify broadband internet as a utility, which would give the commission greater regulatory power over ISPs.
The ruling has not yet been made, but when the decision has been announced, we will update this story. No matter what the decision, there is no doubt today's vote will have an historic impact on the way consumers and companies alike use and provide internet services. Be sure to keep checking back to IGN as we follow this ground-breaking decision.
