Apparently Verizon is not happy, Skype is, and other corps have mixed reactions but are going along.

Errrr... Except for the incoming oversight by Republicans,

FCC's Net neutrality vote hit from both sides

Reaction to the FCC's decision was met with criticism coming from groups
on both sides of the seven-plus-year net neutrality debate in Washington, D.C.
Several consumer and digital rights groups pushing for strong net neutrality rules called the vote a missed opportunity.

The rules, pushed by FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski, prohibit broadband providers from blocking legal Web content,
and they prohibit wired providers from unreasonable discrimination against Web traffic.
The exempt specialized, or managed services, offered by broadband providers and exempt mobile broadband providers
from the prohibition on unreasonable discrimination.
