Net Neutrality is Dead

[Maxdoggy]

Telecoms now have the power to restrict access to certain websites, throttle access to certain websites (ie Netflix, YouTube), and do whatever the hell they want now.

My favorite part of the Appeals Court's ruling:
Page 40 - Speaking about consumers switching to another ISP.

Moreover, the Commission emphasized, many end users may have no option to switch, or at least face very limited options...

Page 73 - Speaking about consumers having other ISP options.

...consumers, of course, have options; they can go to another broadband provider if they want to...

So basically, 33 pages after they state that the end users have little or no options to switch, they completely back-pedal and say they can go to another provider if they want to?



Thanks, US Politicians not giving a fuck to understand what the hell is going on and blindly accepting the shit ton of money thrown at them if they rule a certain way.
