House votes to overturn FCC on Net neutrality

By a vote of 241 to 178, the House of Representatives has adopted a one-page resolution that says, simply, the regulations adopted by the Federal Communications Commission on December 21 "shall have no force or effect."

The Senate has not yet voted on the resolution of disapproval. A parallel version of the legislation in that chamber has 39 sponsors, close to the majority of supporters required to pass the resolution in the Senate.
