Be that time it'll probably be too late. > On the one hand, I can see why monopolistic powers in the hands of ISPs would be bad, but I like that the order would restore "police" powers to the FTC instead of the FCC, The FTC is not the correct body to "police" broadband. > and I can't blame ISPs for wanting a piece of the $ pie. I can. They are already getting paid. They should not be able to go back for seconds. > And it's not like the internet was a horrible wasteland until 2015. That's because network neutrality was the default state before. It's only now that is becoming feasible both from a technical and business perspective to violate network neutrality. > But then again, Pai plan proponents keep saying this will spawn more innovation and improve utilities. That sounds pretty dubious and I haven't seen much proof. I don't recall any big innovation suddenly being stifled in 2015 Yeah, that's just a load of bullshit. CEOs have gone on record that NN will not affect business or investments. > In my perfect world, the regulatory power would go back to the FTC but it would at the same time release a plan for opening up internet utility access so small players can compete with the big ones. Too bad we already had that, minus the FTC part. Fat chance of getting it back. |
