In a statement given to Wired, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler revealed his plan to reclassify ISPs as common carriers under Title II of the Telecommunications Act.

This GREAT news, as it means carriers will have much less leeway into fiddling with the way people get online.

It’s also great news for the rest of the world, as lawmakers abroad now have a stronger example to follow in their own countries — even though Brazil already passed a Net Neutrality law last year .
