I think a flaw here is that you are making it look like the law must be bad because Verizon wanted to leverage it for their own purposes. But TMobile was doing the opposite for their own purposes. So, we can prove that both sides had a vendor looking to take advantage of things. What does that tell us? That the presence of a vendor tells us nothing.
So move on and look at the actual issue, no need to bring up that Verizon was against it or that TMobile was for it. Vendors will use the law or corruption as they can get away with for their own benefit at any given time. That's a given, it doesn't provide insight here.
But now, because Verizon was stopped, every carrier and video provider is doing a version of this, and users benefited. So... thank goodness for Pai
And name a situation where someone is losing here? Who is experience a deprioritization or who is being filtered?
We don't know, that's how this works. that what is so bad about it, we never know who is deprioritized because that info isn't public. Non-video services, video services that don't work with the service, anyone they want to not work. How is this discussiong being accelerated by this?
Meh, highly logical but not practical in any sense. So we are going to pay way more for data than we need to just in case some unknown media is being suppressed?
Nope, the notion that we pay more is completely falsified. We made and solidified that point in Mike's discussion. That's marketing trickery and completely backwards.

I see the logic. But what end users want should be the top priority. Otherwise we are left with thought leadership like this controlling what we get.
No, it should not. First, because they don't even know what they want until after the fact. Second because you are assuming that you can know what they want. Third you are assuming that they can tell you want they want after they've been tricked with things like this. You can see in this thread how end users can't articulate what they want once it has been called "free". It makes taking away their choice "feel" like want they want, because they can't see what they lost.

I like sitting at the park with my kids for 4 hours and watching my shows and not getting an extra $150 bill for data usage.
And this is what Pai is about, instead of abroad sweeping legislation that will be constantly fought over lets create laws that benefit the user and gives consumers what they want on an as-needed basis. The internet is not like telecom and NN is just ancient telecom law.. “common carrier”

And that you feel that this is what was provided to you by this is why I'm so opposed to it. This is the exact misinformation that I'm scared of. You aren't saving money, the Mike discussion proved that, I feel. This is basic economics, the customer always pays. They just determined WHICH things you get for your money instead of you deciding. How much it was going to cost never changed. They just artificially raise prices to trick you. And this statement shows how well that works.

You keep saying this... what do you feel is wrong with the old law that the Internet needs to have different? From Pais' actions and all yoru examples, it sounds like the old laws had it right.

This old law is for telecom, NN isn’t old law. It’s 2 years old and no one had any issues before this except p2p issues. Throttling legislation was introduced by Pai in 2012 and was voted down. Everything else was just speculative. And if anything lobbyists got this thing brilliantly beaded and put into law.
-
Here is the overview...
NN: X price and I control what I get with that.
No NN: X price and private companies control what I get with that.The price never changes, that's just obvious economics. NN doesn't change how expensive a packet of data is. Revoking it doesn't change that. What revoking it changes, is which packets I pay more for and which packets I pay less for.

Why? Why does it never change to free? It’s the same as if they had unlimited data.
If they had it for just Netflix and wouldn’t offer it to any other provider it would definitely be a huge bias and wrong.
But it’s not that, and that’s where I say the law is not written for modern times. It’s was made to be exploited. It solved nothing.
It was named brilliantly.

Because this is basic economics. There is no free, the customer always pays. That's how it works.
This is like the common "free fries" trick. My a hamburger at a higher price, get fries for "free". It's not free, you just paid for it. if you want to make it really appear free, raise the price of the hamburger.
You, as the customer, are the source of income. You will always have to pay for what you get. There is no free, that's always an illusion. You always pay, anything like free or unlimited is just a pay to manipulate your emotions because humans are suckers for the concept of free, even when logically they know it isn't.

But that's how it started. Then it was modified, but it is still for certain TYPES of providers. It's not universal. Unless it is universal, we have a problem.

So you keep saying this, but we keep asking what you mean? Net Neutrality was named for exactly what we need. True. So shooting it down is terrible, I agree.
Modern times work just like ancient times, information needs to not get prioritization to manipulate us. How was it exploited? I've heard no rumour of such a thing.

Actually looks like all video providers are now signed on... it was simply Verizon who was pissed.
How is this "all", it clearly looks like a really tiny list. Anything but "all".

Then why was Comcast still throttling Netflix to 10mb through the entire life of the bill?
I’ll post some specific verbage on this.

Corruption, a constant complaint. How did Pai allow that all of this time? I'm assume he has a nice vacation package from it.

This is America, big companies have direct access to grease any palms that they want. The degree of corruption in the US is mind blowing. I've lived all over the world and I've never seen any culture so gripped by government corruption. That companies get away with terrible actions is to be expected. But we must hold accountable those that benefit from that corruption and not use it to excuse enabling more corruption.

So he took charge today? Or Comcast wasn't actually doing this? What am I missing?

The FCC I believe should be adaptive and do what users want. No user wants to pay more for video. If at some point video suppresses other media we haven’t though of than change the law... right now it’s not suppressing anything

No, the FCC should protect Americans from being tricked by big corporations to take away their freedoms. We fundamentally differ on what the government should do. I think it should protect the country, not sell it out, even if the citizens are easily duped.
