...crap... Well, here's hoping the FCC will appeal it. They've still got another level or two of courts to go through until they have to give up, I think.

Under current law they don't have he authority, I'm sure that could change in the future.

They're working on a bill that would give them the authority to enforce net neutrality, but if they lose this case it will likely weaken the case for it.
