Net neutrality advocates gain symbolic win as Senate votes to save Obama rules

But resolution requires passage in House and Trump's signature - an unlikely outcome before FCC's repeal goes into effect in June

Advocates for net neutrality won a symbolic victory Wednesday when the Senate voted 52-47 to preserve Obama-era regulations that require internet service providers to treat all web traffic equally.

But the resolution also requires passage by the Republican-controlled House and Donald Trump's signature to be enacted - an unlikely outcome before the Federal Communications Commission's repeal of net neutrality rules goes into effect next month.
