I swear, everyone who is in favor of what just happened has no idea what they are talking about in the slightest. It is just a bunch of people who get violently twitchy when they hear the phrase "government regulation".
Actually, leading economists and some Nobel Prize winners show research that says the exact opposite of what you're saying.

I'd much rather have a free market where anyone can enter the market and provide any service that I'm willing to pay for .. than to have a limited number of providers who only offer a set of service standards as determined by government....I'm smart enough to determine what is good for me.
Ann Rand, Atlas Shrugged. Oh how the media and our youth have forgotten true freedom and embraced socialism.

The FCC will still have punitive power for egregious violations like you're talking about.

What a bunch of whining snowflakes! Net neutrality wasn't around from 1995-2014 and the internet thrived!
Missed named 'net neutrality' treats internet like a government run utility! How has any government run function worked?

As Corso says "not so fast my friend"!!!! Ask any SCE&G customer! Those folks have been paying higher rates for years to foot the bill ($1.4 BILLION) for a failed nuclear project....

All this does is de-regulate government control of the internet and go back to the way it was in 2014!

Now it begins again.... Getting ready to pay more for content. Or I hope you like NBC universal programming.

I see the opposite of your power company argument. Repealing NN is going to allow ISP's to charge more to consumers that use the internet and stream more, as well as the content providers that are the ones that need the high speed. Use more, pay more.
Sure it's not fair to us consumers, but as I understand it's not necessarily fair to the ISP's that are having to put millions into infrastructure in order for streaming services like Netflix to work (streaming services are supposedly taking up 50% of internet usage now)
Why shouldn't Netflix have to pay the ISP a fee when it costs the ISP's millions more to deliver their content than it does for them to deliver elitedawgs

If you're happy about this, fair enough, just remember that you're happy when your favorite websites are suddenly unavailable, slow, or only available with an extra charge.

Comcast wasn't getting its ass kicked by Netflix and other streaming services back then either so they didn't even think about how to make up all the money they have lost the last couple years to cord cutters because it hadn't happened yet. THIS IS THEIR ANSWER to people cutting the cord. There's nothing snowflake about trying to stop from having a $250 a month cable/internet package. That is where we are headed very soon after today.

22 including MISSISSIPPI are suing. Even your dead red home state AG sees how bad it doing away with net neutrality is.

Well I?ll be - how did that happen? Reds must be slipping in MS. Either way, 22 states is a lot and I bet it grows. GA won?t join because AT&T still holds a big sway with our reds.
