I have not read the complete thread but ....
 
here is my two cents anyway.

Net Neutrality is nothing less than government takeover of the internet. This cannot go well as evidenced by everything else the .gov touches. Repeal will stimulate competition and the free market will sort out winners and losers.

Net Neutrality can only spawn another government agency and ultimately have us all paying for it in taxes as well as monthly charges for access.

I have no problem with the Telcos wanting to toll access to the internet.

So long as the subsidies they get from the government are removed.

This doesn't follow from the facts. Take a deep breath, think about what you're saying and try again.

The internet was not invented by private companies. It was always a government project, in co-operation between the Military and the Academy from inception thru it's present iteration.

No more private than the Interstate Highway system or the military.

So what pj. The internet was placed in the public domain somehow. I admittedly don't know how. Many government projects were so transitioned. Are you saying it is o.k. if the government now wants to take it back?

Government regulation of utilities such as electrical power and telephone is the model we can look forward to.

This is my professional domain, so here's my 2 cents.

Net neutrality has always been really a farce for a long time. The tier one carriers have always been doing "Quality of Service" ie prioritization of service over others for as long as time.

My bittorrent traffic on comcast was very much throttled and I could see it if I didn't encrypt the traffic.

The net neutrality rules were sort of a joke anyway. There wasn't a way for the FCC to enforce them. I'm sorry, but unless there's a "bite" involve. The FCC accused Verizon and Comcast of throttling, but never really did anything to make them change.

All of it was just feel good lip service, just like the dreamer rules. Unless it goes through the legislative process, there's a high chance it will die.

This will however greatly punch certain tech companies in the gut. The same companies that have been surprisingly anti-Trump. Google and Amazon stand to lose a lot of money. This rule removal was aimed squarely at them.

Secondly, the big tier service providers were pushing this secondarily for a business reason because several large corporations have been pushing their IT infrastructure and system workflows heavily into the cloud. Those same corporations will now have to pay a troll toll if they wish to have fast access to those cloud services.

Will this affect residential customers? Will we have the same nightmare scenario that Portugal has to deal with?

My honest answer is no. We won't see any significant difference to our internet speeds.

It is baked ,cut into slices and buttered on both sides ,the way forward of most commercialized products ,"your internet "which was described by the foreseers of the internet was envisioning something much better for this every day tool we now use in our everyday life .The governance of the internet is now totally up to corporate hands ,a billboard bonanza to satisfy streaming adds since its already filtered through the system continiously .I envision some political scape of add runs during re-election would be in store ,this was a most certain decisive push for the outcome .We all wanted this ,right?
