This is relatively old news

But after reading up on it a bit after that post, there may actually be a silver lining in that this ruling could ultimately prompt the government to either a) get Congress to pay a new law giving the FCC that authority (sadly unlikely) or b) simply have the FCC to reclassify ISPs as a new, more heavily regulated type of business altogether. The second course of action is the worst possible outcome for the big ISPs altogether, but ironically might be what happen if the other options fail.
All in all we should be glad Obama appointed people at the FCC that even give a shit about net neutrality, most Republicans and a lot of Democrats too would have long ago happily tossed all of this out the window to give the providers everything they wanted.
