California is closer than ever to restoring net neutrality. Digital Trends reports that the bill to bring ease back into the hearts of California web surfers, SB-822, sailed through the state’s legislative bodies. It is now heading to the governor’s desk for a signature.
Democrat Jerry Brown has not said whether he intends to sign the bill. Brown rarely comments on legislation before it arrives at his desk. By state law, the governor has 30 days to act on the legislation.
A bill enacting net neutrality protection would have important ramifications for the United States. This since the U.S. Senate voted to reverse a Federal Communications Commission decision to kill national net neutrality rules set in place under the Obama administration.
