Net neutrality may not be the law of the US, but it's now the law of New York state. On Wednesday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed an executive order (PDF) enacting rules that require internet service providers to treat internet traffic equally, preventing them from favoring some websites over others. The rules mean New York state agencies can't contract with any ISPs that don't meet the requirements of net neutrality.

Cuomo's order says net neutrality "means ISPs will not block, throttle, or prioritize internet content or applications or require that end users pay different or higher rates to access specific types of content or applications."
