I figured this would happen because the FCC really doesn't have the authority to do this...congress needs to fix that...so I don't think anything will change even if it goes to the Supreme Court.
Plus I'm sure that the lobbyist will try to keep the FCC from having this power and the Republicans seem against it.

What really errks me is this:
"....Comcast welcomed the ruling in a statement that said: "Our primary goal was always to clear our name and reputation." The National Cable and Telecommunications Association, the cable industry's lobby group, elaborated by saying that Comcast and its other members will "continue to embrace a free and open Internet as the right policy."...."

I'm not quite sure how Comcast came to the conclusion that their reputation is now ok because of this ruling - fact still remains that they slowed traffic for certain things and only quit doing it after a huge uproar, bunch of complaints and the FCC telling them to quit. Not sure how that equates to "free and open internet".
