I also always thought NN was bullshit, based on speculation and phantom issues that did not exist. More specific legislation could have addressed issued like throttling, one of the guises the NN supporters used to bring this into effect. It just wasnt a well crafted law, and was widely open to the kind of abuse that would reduce competition.
There is no system for competition today. They could have retained NN and fixed these things. Removing NN is the issue, failing to fix the other things is an issue, using repealing NN under the excuse of the other things is an issue.
Consider the way TMobile could have been limited by NN with their unlimited streaming offering that Pai supporter and gave the green light on in Feb.
How would NN have affected TMobile? I honestly don't know how it would apply?

NN didn’t add competition. And on the agenda Pai is looking to add legislation to donjust that.
On your other comment, I’m not saying one is bad and the other worst. Pai looks like Batman to me and Wheeler like the Joker.
Of course it didn't - it did give customers consumer protections that the lack of competition prevented them from getting.
i.e. an unthrottled connection to the internet for one.If I pay for a 100/20 connection, why should you the ISP be allowed to slow content you don't like down?
A much simpler legislation was proposed by Pai and was denied. Now it’s going to get approved. He’s just clearing the path to take appropriate action.

I don't even think that they SHOULD be competition. ISP access should be nationalized. It's a utility and needs to be protected more than any other. It's the most at risk, the hardest to understand, and the most critical for protecting our freedoms and democracy.
All this other stuff, it might be nice, but I care about freedom of the Internet... and it has been revoked. As an American, private companies now OWN the right to determine what information I can receive.

Unless that action ALREADY happened, that's speculation. What he did today is the concern.

TMobile provides uneven access to the Internet. I like TMobile service, but I'm super unhappy about that stuff.

They wanted to offer free video streaming services to any video provider who would use the codec conversion to their wireless subscribers. Competitors cried foul play and used NN, Pai overruled then. That’s one of many reasons NN is gone. It’s not over through, just the beginning.

Right, it was dealing with reality... in the real world we don't have competition for utilities. NN protected us so that we kept ourselves free as a country.

But any provider was welcome to offer it this way, they just didn’t want to have that competition.

Right, all bad and all enabled by Pai's disregard for our freedoms. It's bad, just because they can all do it just shows the problem for what it is - the ability to control access to information for all of Americans.
-
If we consider the internet like we consider power - would you consider it crazy for the power company to say - oh hey, yeah we don't like Sony.. so you can't use the power you get from us to power Sony gear..
That's the same as saying that they don't like Netflix, so you get slow access, well below what YOU PAID FOR.
Does that seem right to you?

Since it came into play NN has reduced infrastructure investment and only benefited big internet. It’s a ruse.

How does "big Internet" benefit from NN? To me, anyone who benefits from freedom is the right people to benefit. Anyone who benefits from revoking NN are criminals and I want them out of my country.

I agree with what you are saying. But NN wasn’t just about that. It did a whole lot more than that.
It’s just well branded “Net Nuetrality” who can argue with a name like that.

That includes Pai, the people bribing him and his collaborators. As far as I'm concerned, he's an enemy of the state. He's undermining our most important freedoms, the freedoms that we need to maintain the others.

NN guarantees equal access. Offering certain things more than others is the opposite of NN.
This is why Pai is bad, he wants your ISP to choose what you get fast and what you get slow so that he can manipulate public opinion.

They charged for HBO and Youtube data usage and didn’t charge for the video services that signed up. It’s “uneven access” like Scott said. But you see how it screws the customer and reduces competition?

The ISP, rather than the customer, gets to decide what services get high speed or not.
