“Those are some lovely data packets you’ve got there. It sure would be a shame if they got lost on their way to your users.”

There were a lot of good quotes from the article, but this one struck me as particularly apt.

In my country, mobile service providers (Vodafone, Digicel, Connect) all have very popular packages like "Sign up for this data plan for $6 and get free unlimited access to Facebook and Instagram.

Anyone trying to push net neutrality here would have a hard time getting the masses on board once told they'd have to give up "free" social media.
