Not 100% sure yet, but my gut reaction is that if the liberals are happy about it, it can't be good!

Chris has a blog post up about it. The gist is, what they did today, was not Net Neutrality.

"Neutrality" is apparently now the word the government uses instead of "reform" when what they mean is "control".
