Campaigners for Net neutrality commissioned a plane to carry a banner and fly around Comcast headquarters in Philadelphia. The company is currently the largest internet service provider in the United States.

The banner, measuring 2,000 square feet, read, "Comcast: Don't mess with the Internet." The banner also contained the famous grumpy cat image and the #SorryNotSorry hashtag.

The aerial stunt was brought about by the decision of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regarding the future of the internet. The commission has declared that broadband internet service will be considered a public utility.

In layman's terms, it means that everyone will have the same access speed to the internet and ISP companies are forbidden to offer speedier access to those willing to pay for it.

FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler made a surprise decision supporting the net neutrality ruling. Wheeler is a former lobbyist for telecommunication companies.

He said the proceedings were the most open in the history of the FCC. A total of 4 million online viewers submitted their thoughts about the proposed rules.

The chairman thanked them for their comments and said the commission listened and learned from those comments.

Wheeler believes the internet has become too important not to have any referees or rules guide those in the field.

Demand Progress Executive Director David Segal declared the ruling as a victory. He said while Comcast and other similar companies lobbied hard to tilt the ruling in their favor, the FCC instead voted for net neutrality.

Winning over the FCC and flying a plane carrying banners doesn't assure the fight for net neutrality is over.  More than likely, Comcast and other internet service providers can still appeal against the FCC ruling in the United States Congress or the Supreme Court.
