Just look at countries without protections: your phone provider extorts monthly fees to 'provide' access to facebook etc. In fact they're doing nothing. Except blocking access until you pay. Simple shakedown. This is what we have to look forward to.

I'm not looking forward to that future either, which is why I'm still being politically active about net neutrality, just not title two.

The good thing is that the new law doesn't have to be permanent, there have already been a net neutrality specific law in Montana, I don't know if it is any good and I haven't done any research on it, but I'd be willing to bet its more relevant than title 2 was.

I've also seen a lot more articles talking about lack of competition in areas ISP problems and such since title 2 was repealed. So there is still hope!
