“We cannot allow broadband networks to cut special deals to prioritize Internet traffic...”


That’s how major functionality of the internet works. Without it, many parts of it don’t. ...pretty much anything involving real-time, or traffic shaping.

Supposedly, wireless Internet access has never been regulated by the FCC (by which I mean the presence of "network neutrality" regulation).

I pay ~$40/mo for wireless internet from T-Mobile.

It comes with free music streaming. (This is the part proponents of net neutrality hate.) Other than that, it works the same as any other access method. (dial-up, DSL, fibre, cable, &c.)
