The Senate Wednesday voted to preserve net neutrality, with three Republicans joining all of the chamber’s Democrats and independents to block a Federal Communications Commission plan to undo Obama-era rules governing the internet. The vote is a major victory for net neutrality activists, but the plan still has a long way to go before it could take effect.

641 is the 116th prime nubmer

Ajit Varadaraj Pai is a telecommunications director who serves as the Chairman of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

This vote by the Senate comes on a span of 132 days, counting the end date, 133rd day of the year.

 Government = 133. Federal Bureau of Investigation = 133. White House = 133

It is also, counting the end date, 19 weeks, which is equivalent to 18 weeks and 7 days, like 187.

Thune’s proposal falls short of what net neutrality advocates favor. But it goes further than another Republican bill sponsored by representative Marsha Blackburn (R-Tennessee) in the House and Kennedy, who voted in favor of Markey’s legislation, in the Senate.

The Blackburn-Kennedy bill would prohibit internet providers from blocking websites and services, but wouldn't ban paid "fast lanes." It would also block states from passing their own stronger net neutrality rules.

Senator James Lankford (R-Oklahoma) said the FCC rules put broadband providers at a disadvantage to websites like Google and Facebook, because, he said, Google and Facebook can decide what content their customers see.
