The repeal of net neutrality rules became official Monday despite their popularity with the majority of Americans, opposition from the U.S. Senate and numerous court challenges already underway against the FCC’s controversial decision to end the Obama-era regulations.In May, the Senate voted to overturn the Federal Communications Commission’s repeal. Last week, Senate Democrats urged House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., to bring the issue to a vote on the House floor.“It is incumbent on the House of Representatives to listen to the voices of consumers, including the millions of Americans who supported the FCC’s 2015 net neutrality order, and keep the internet free and open for all,” they said in a letter Thursday.
