All I know is if it’s bad for the internet and good for brick and mortar, I’m for it.

the death of net neutrality just means higher prices for internet access. It would be fine if there was true competition for internet access but there isn’t. Essentially in the US a handful of companies are monopolies that provide internet access. Your options are telephone monopoly, or cable monopoly and that’s about it. So the monopolies who are not satisfied with a locked in customer base that has little to no choice on their provider now want to charge the companies that their customers visit on the web. Next up TWC and other monopolies will probably want to charge banks for allowing internet access to online banking accounts.

I’m all for a truly free market but pretending that companies like TWC, ATT, Verizon are all about preserving the free market system is laughable.
