I appreciate the well-thought-out counter perspective. Do you still live in Russia and do you still feel the same way? If you had to put yourself into the shoes of a US voter, how would you feel?
I don't yet feel that I understand US realities well enough to be able to have a proper, informed opinion. Still, from what I've heard, there is very limited competition in a lot of areas, when there are essentially mono- and duopolies. In that case, NN may be beneficial, as it acts as a safeguard, as consumers can't vote with their feet. If things are really bad, I think I'd be for NN, but I'd really prefer there'd be some "this must be carefully reviewed in 4-5 years" clause. Otherwise... I'm not really sure, sorry. But, either way, I'd support those who seek to improve ways for new ISPs to start up and grow, as I've heard the entry barriers are very high in the US.
I got selected in DV 2018 lottery so, hopefully, if I'll get a visa approval, I will have to form a proper first-hand opinion in some years. :)
Yes, I still do, and feel the same way.
