But net neutrality supporters warned that the decision could indeed open the way for ISPs like Verizon to compromise Web access.

"[T]he biggest broadband providers will race to turn the open and vibrant Web into something that looks like cable TV," Craig Aaron, president of the advocacy group Free Press, said in a statement. "They'll establish fast lanes for the few giant companies that can afford to pay exorbitant tolls and reserve the slow lanes for everyone else."

Michael Copps, a former FCC commissioner who is now an adviser to the advocacy group Common Cause, urged the commission to reclassify broadband Internet service for regulatory purposes to preserve the Open Internet rules.

"The Court's decision today is poised to end the free, open and uncensored Internet that we have come to rely on," Copps said in a statement. "Without prompt corrective action by the Commission to reclassify broadband, this awful ruling will serve as a sorry memorial to the corporate abrogation of free speech."
