good but cable companies will drag this out through the court system for years and years so maybe it will benefit our grandchildren while our worm-ridden corpses are dug up and processed into their food because climate change destroyed all farming.

verizon was right! we need internet fast lanes to prevent sites like theirs from slowing down

it's not that netflix have been dicks really, net neutrality is just doing away with competition with other services. services that allow netflix will surely win over if it's popular enough to use

netflix was just really dumb because the ceo guy thought he could save some money.

they've always been irrelevant to the fcc's decision making though, the fcc determined the stuff that happened didn't violate any current or planned regs

nobody "wasn't allowing netflix" netflix just refused to follow standard internet procedures used worldwide.
