I don’t how but this sounds like BS too me:

>>If there is no free data allowed in California (the new law specifically prohibits it), the vast majority of vets will not be able afford access to VA Video Connection

Really? the ‘vast majority’ of vets...somehow I doubt it.

Comcast and At&T are both huge Democratic donors. Remind me again why we care about their profits?

AT&T is a huge republican donor. Is your reasoning that neutrality is good because large profitable companies should be punished?

I think that means there is no way to police where the data is bring requested. So all states are effected and no one has free access. Thus, the vast majority who do not live in CA are shut out.

It is more important that incels who haven’t left Mom’s basement in 10 years have low latency and high frame rates for video games than it is for vets to access medical care.

“I think that means there is no way to police where the data is bring requested.”

For a long time carriers have let subscribers use certain services without it counting against data caps. Apparently, net neutrality in CA means that they cannot do this anymore.
