the thing is... many companies already place “limits” on your unlimited plans. They slow down your connection after a certain amount is exceeded on cell phone data plans for instance.
I just dont see what the big issue is here.
I guess some slubs at with the most basic internet plans service might suffer, but for everyone else. This might actually makes things better by freeing up bandwidth.
I think it remains to be seen what it means, tbh. I’m not quite celebrating yet. Companies like Comcast have lied and played fast and loose with the truth in the past, I’m not so sure them “freed” so to speak is a good thing. In theory, they could slow access to whatever web site they don’t like. Maybe web site like free republic becomes critical of Comcast, and a user of their service (becasue it is the only high speed service in your city) starts getting “issues” accessing it. In fact, no one really knows what it all will look like let us say, three years from now. Most is conjecture.
