#5 Net Neutrality Law Passed By California. 
Joining Canada and Europe, California passed a law preserving Internet Neutrality for the state.
The "state" is 10% of the U.S., the sixth largest economy in the world, and generally sets the trends for the rest of the country.
Net Neutrality means you and I, and your lifelong learning program, will have equal access to the Internet no matter how small or poor you, I or your program is.
In contrast to big corporations buying up bandwidth and making it hard or impossible for people to download your videos, your podcast, your online course, etc.
It will be difficult for corporations to have two sets of rules, one for other states and one for California. Generally companies just adhere to the California laws across the board.
It's a huge big win for people, democracy, nonprofits, education, freedom of speech and more........ It's what Tim Berners-Lee intended when he invented the World Wide Web 25 years ago.
