The loss of title 2 is not the death of net neutrality and I'm also 99% sure it doesn't open the door for fast lanes, either.
If you're worried about this being a springboard for future regulation rollbacks that's a separate issue entirely.
Admittedly, I'm not as up-to-date on my NN regulations as I could be. -_-
As far as I can tell, articles like this one are outright false.
Absolutely nothing. I don't believe in net neutrality, net neutrality is only a thing because the main internet providers are mostly monopolies, when they started they were legally enforced monopolies. Today it is maintained mostly through local laws making it extremely hard to do business. Its important context because as usual instead of solving the problem we try to solve the symptom.
Doubt it. If that were the case we would see more outrage from web giants. They are almost entirely silent.How is that false? They are going to charge Netflix millions to get a fast lane for their customers and Netflix is going to raise their monthly rates to their customers.
They are more than likely going to charge Valve for the right to have a fast lane to their customers. Then we will see the $80 base video game.
That's what I would do if I were an ISP. Hell charge Google also. And I would block every Reddit subreddit that mentions the word Kodi due to piracy. That would protect Americans from themselves.

I can't believe people think this will actually happen.
What about when Joe Schmo wakes up one day and tries to go watch Netflix and sees a big error that says "If you want to access this website, pay an extra $10/month"? Now imagine that happening TO THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. Imagine it with something like Facebook or Twitter (I've seen people joke about the ISP selling a "Social Media Package").
Site-specific fast lanes will never, ever happen. You can't take away something people had for free for the last 30 years and then try to charge it back to them at extra cost. For-fucking-get about it.
Pissing off every single American is not a great business strategy and not even the big telecoms are that suicidal.

Yep.. but they will be like you see nothing happened for the first year or so... Of course the changes will take time to set.Its gonna be a rude awakening for the folks that dont think this is a big deal.
Nah our crtc is pretty useless but they did fine bell for zero rating.I hope this crap doesn't reach Canada. This is awful.
But this is riduclous. 10GB is 10GB, it doesnt matter if you download 10GB in text files from wikipedia or 10GB in snapchat video streams. What they are trying to do is get you locked into a particular set of websites like a TV package.So, for example, we have our base data plan for 20 euros, that includes comms and 5gb of internet traffic, and then we can add a data plan for 10gb to use on video sites for another 6 euros.
Hey, another reason to love the Republicans. The never fuck over citizens to appease corporate interests, so as an individual I feel safe and secure. Thank goodness for that........

They sky is falling, the sky is falling!
The hyperbole here rivals a Star Citizen fan forum.
Oh stop it. Calling out a shitty plan as a shitty plan is not at all like screaming the sky is falling. Things can be worse, and we'd rather they not be.
Obviously you haven't read the thread...
No "net neutrality" laws for decades -> everything is fine
"net neutrality" laws for 18 months -> nothing changes
Go back to how it was for decades -> OMG MAD MAX INTERNET COMCAST RUNS BARTERTOWN
You're not incorrect there. Not much has changed. Not much PROBABLY will change now either. However, it does make it just THAT much more possible. ... stuff ... All hypothetical, but does any of it sound good to you?

The FCC will use their Title II power over the internet to turn US telecom into 1984-style state pripagando that bans all political dissent and brainwashes everyone into accepting a hellish existence.
Sure, it's a hypothetical, but does that sound good to you?
