The actual statement read fairly explicit and useful to me. I'm no expert though. Basically:

  No blocking.
  No throttling. 
  Increased transparency
  No paid prioritization 
  Same rules apply to mobile internet
It's all subject to the caveat that the FCC is independent and they decide how and what exactly is implemented.

Those sound to me like the basic and less controversial components of net neutrality. It prevent disadvantaging specific sites, protocols or users if applied in a reasonable way.

"Same rules for mobile internet" is pretty notable. Google only got on that bandwagon in September, for instance.
