This article is over a month old. I'm interested in the current status of NN. Could someone informed fill us in on the latest?

yeah, we're still waiting for the ruling. the only other thing that happened is that the current FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler made a comment that suggested he opposed net neutrality--arguing that Netflix should be allowed to pay carriers for better service. This framing (assuming companies want to pay, not that telcos are angling to get paid) is the framing placed by telcos, etc. Wheeler was once the head lobbyist for the cable industry, then the wireless telco industry, so there's been some concerns, particularly with those comments. some fear he'll do nothing meaningful if/when we lose the court case.

After some googling, I've concluded that the ruling hasn't happened yet. Every other source on this topic is from around the same time, and some of them mention that the ruling is expected sometime between then and early 2014.
