Net Neutrality

[Djarum300]

Opinions?

Mine is that while I'm typically for deregulation, the ISPs have gotten too big and there is no free market solution when many people only have on provider.

If an ISP can't deliver the content from a source, let the source pay the ISP.

This is going to be bad for consumers and will make the internet more expensive for most. Disappointing.

Corporate tyranny is our biggest issue-- not immigration, not racial divide, not religious oppression, not kneeling for the anthem, etc.

Crazy part is some truly believe corporate tyranny = freedom, from a literal perspective.

The issue is that Hardline libertarians believe that deregulation is the answer. But it can only be the answer if and only if municipalities allow for expansion. And even then, rural areas still won't have a choice. Croney capitalism is how we got here. Free markets only fix croney capitalism if and only if the government doesn't have a say, and we know they do.
