By striking it down, providers will be able to provide increased performance for those willing to pay.

Really? When there's no requirement whatsoever for increased performance?

Here's what's actually going to happen: every user of a streaming service like Netflix or Hulu or Amazon not tied to AT&T or ComCast or their ISP will be forced to pay more to receive the same quality of service.

In the name of "free" markets, we will all be charged more for the same service by monopoly abusers.

That's what the market is for. If your provider is screwing you silly, you drop it and look for another. I think ditching net neutrality will spur competition, not stifle it. But even if it doesn't, the Constitution doesn't guarantee folks cheap internet.

Requirement???

That is a product of consumer demand!

I don’t watch streaming videos and I damn sure don’t want to subsidize yours!

Get it?

Obama appreciates your endorsement of government controlled markets.
