Maybe net neutrality isn’t dead after all.

The Senate on Wednesday voted 52 to 47 to overturn the Federal Communications Commission’s repeal of the rules, with three Republicans joining the mostly Democratic effort.

Obtaining three Republican votes in favor of overturning the repeal came as a surprise after initially just one had expressed a willingness to side with Democrats on the matter. The move is a rebuke to President Donald Trump and his Republican FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, who had pushed through the repeal of net-neutrality rules despite widespread public support for the Obama-era standards.
