In my opinion, this is a good thing.
Net neutrality as written, does not not mean what the name implies.
Government initiatives spawned by the Obama administration never do.

When liberals write a law, the law never means what the name implies.
You got that right, just like; “common sense” gun laws, “comprehensive” immigration, “patriot” act, and on and on.
Its kind of like "The Affordable Care Act" in that regard. With leftists its all about the "messaging" when they name these things.
Net Neutrality was the most Orwellian named policy. George Orwell would have been proud.
If you're a Lying Leftist, you lie. it's what you do.
‘Net neutrality as written, does not not mean what the name implies.’
But surely that’s not also true of the Affordable Healthcare Act...is it?
Jk.

exactly. essentially, it mainly prohibit ISPs from offering tiered services to content providers who need Service Level Agreements above and beyond the ordinary. Essentially it hampered innovation of new products by the ISPs to meet specialized demands.
In its place the FCC said it will monitor the situation and act on an individual basis should any kind of abuses take place, such as favoring one content provider over another within the same SLA or not offering all SLAs to all comers equally. In other words, a common sense approach to regulating potential abuses, instead of trying to write voluminous, inflexible, restrictive rule books to try and cover all conceivable circumstances.
My liberal friends are going bonkers saying it is going to raise internet rates big time and restrict internet access.
No nothing more than government control of the internet.
Its the new Fairness Doctrine
