My liberal friends are going bonkers saying it is going to raise internet rates big time and restrict internet access.

Repealing it will prevent monopoly and allow smaller companies to enter the market. Increase competition.

The other approach? Leads to Corporate Fascism. Big companies buy the POLs (both parties) and write the law to suit them eliminating upstart competitors.

Maybe, maybe not, but the door to that has been opened. Should ISPs decide to make you pay for content (reading FR for example) there is nothing to stop them now that NN has been repealed.

The internet is now one big cable network. Want to get netflix or rededt or Drudge? Pick the plan that is right for you, only 35 bucks a month.

Got a website you want people to see? That's an extra $50/month for every ISP. You have to pay to play.
