I think the most significant part of this is that the folks screaming for NN who have no more read the regulations than anyone else (as they have not been revealed) are making far-reaching predictions that the government will or will not “ever” do this or that. This is simply unknowable. But the precedent is hereby set that at some point, “fairness” can and will be used for some lever that inevitably will be used to secure some connected somebody what they perceive as an unfair advantage. This is the nature of government regulation in the 21st century. The fact of the matter is that nobody can predict the future; however the folks who have clamored for more and more government regulation have been astoundingly wrong in the quality and accuracy of their predictions...0bamacare being the most glaring example.
Whatever they clamor for is sold as being “fair”’ but “fairness” is a state achieved by those with the most influence to legislators via contributions (aka bribes) and to think that new startups would have such influence is the height of naivete.
The fact that Google read the legislation and approved it, before Congress, the public or its competitors could review it, is a good enough reason to chunk the whole regulation and sic the anti-trust division on Google.
