The end of Net Neutrality?

[Woneone]

There are no positives. When someone defends Net Neutrality they announce that they are a corporatist or ignorant.

Re-read what you typed, and then consider the irony.

Could someone explain to me how killing net neutrality would benefit a consumer like ourselves? I don't see any positives in changing the way things are now.

If FCC gets its way, we’ll lose a lot more than net neutrality

Led by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, the petition filed asks a court to find that the FCC’s plan runs afoul of federal law.

“An open internet — and the free exchange of ideas it allows — is critical to our democratic process. The repeal of net neutrality would turn internet service providers into gatekeepers — allowing them to put profits over consumers while controlling what we see, what we do, and what we say online.”

The lawsuit, brought in front of the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, asks the court to determine that the FCC’s repeal is “arbitrary, capricious, and an abuse of discretion” under the law.

The suit will also argue that the FCC wrongly reclassified broadband as a so-called Title I information service — rather than a Title II service — because of “an erroneous and unreasonable interpretation” of communications law.
