    Comcast doesn't want to end net neutrality to help build better networks.

    Comcast wants to end net neutrality so they can either A) Drive you to the content they provide or B) Charge you more for accessing the competitor's content.

    Except abortion.

    We can still treat abortion like the end of the world, right?

    I can't work up the least amount of lather over this, with all the other garbage happening.
    This is truly a first-world problem.

    This will be tied up in the courts for years and will be rendered moot as soon as the Democrats regain the White House. So I ain’t clutching my pearls just yet.

    Someone will always find a way to offer faster internet so long as there’s a profit motive.

    When I was a kid, there was a big push to let power companies do as they wished. The market would service us all.

    As I recall, Enron set about manipulating prices so we got gouged and had blackouts.

    We're of course dealing with a high-barrier-to-entry market in the case power, and in a lot of ways cable. They're the sort that get most regulated because they don't really create much competition on the price side. In some cases, regulation creates more competitive marketplaces. Maybe this has no effect, maybe it shifts wealth from consumers and online businesses to shareholders. I assume costs, if they're there, will be passed on, mostly becuase of a lack of competition up the ladder.
