We've seen what they did before Net Neutrality. So why should assume they do it differently this time?

Why would they not fuck us? They have no incentive to do the right thing.

I see what TC means. One issue ISPs will have to deal with is a possible increase in competition. Theoretically, if one ISP acts like dickheads because they have a monopoly in the area then a competitor should arise to challenge them. Realistically though, theres bullshit and loopholes to prevent that situation.

However I believe the consumer will revolt if pushed too hard so companies will just figure the perfect amount to fuck us with.

Vote America people, not party /soapbox

That's how it works in theory, but in practice it always ends up like a cartel of sorts.

I'm going to say that it will be awhile before all of these changes and new charges end up happening.

What will likely happen though, is there will be a ton of court battles with ISP's and eventually the FCC as well.

Google already tried and they were priced out by AT&T and Time Warner because they own the poles Google had to use. If Google couldn't afford to pay them then no start up company can.

This may come as a shock, so prepare yourself for one.

You aren't most people. You are only one person, in a country of hundreds of millions.
