LToday, the FCC decided to vote 4-1 to undo net neutrality; rules that guarantee equal access to the internet. Of course, there will be lawsuits galore but I’m curious about yalls take on this. Thoughts? Perspectives?  

Here are my thoughts on this.

My guess is that internet providers will employ one of the oldest economic tricks in the book:  subdivision -- just like buying a 40-acre farm for half a million bucks, then subdividing it into 320 single-family lots and selling them for $50,000 each.  

...Thanks Pb for the info, I am sure there are many of us that don't understand all of the ramifications of this ruling, but it is my belief that this is consistent with the Trump admin. goals to allow business to extract more money from the public. And after all who did the Trump admin. put in charge of the F.C.C. but an executive from Verizon, is this "the fox guarding the hen-house ?

Actually the net neutrality rules were announced in June of 2015 to take effect June 15 2015. They were instantly blocked by court action: one of the suits has been dealt with, the other is still preventing the application of the rules. The result is that the rules have not yet been in place.

I know, I'm so old I remember the bad ole days of 21015. I paid $199 a second to look at TER.  Google charged me to sell my info.  Netflix was so slow I was forced to watch PBS.  

I did a lot of research on Female Condoms. I highly recommend using them if a gentleman is bigger. Also some men's penises shut down once you put a condom on them for all various reasons. FC2 condoms were bought by a pharmaceutical company and they are only sold in 3 stores across the state. We are lucky to have the Smitten Kitten here in Minnesota that is allowed to sell them at a reasonable price.

Just because the first rule change was never implemented does not mean that it had no impact on the behavior of the companies who were potentially affected.  Also, concluding that because a lack of change in the past will continue indefinitely into the future is a fallacy.  There will be change.  You can argue about what it will be or when it will happen but sooner or later some company will try to do things differently.

Freedom is messy.   That's why most people hate it.

Read what I wrote: the repeal of something that has not been implemented cannot result in a change. It's pretty much logic 101.

I read what you wrote.  You seem to have somehow not read the first sentence of my first reply.

Sure-like the tax cuts hurts the public, go fish

The only people who "extract" money are tax collectors and robbers.  But I repeat myself.

LOL! I do think of Elaine from Seinfeld everytime I pull one out .

My Corp holds back on all sorts of initiatives if we don’t have a good idea of where the litigation is heading. Just because net neutrality regulations were tied up in court and hadn’t taken affect doesn’t mean it won’t have an effect. If the decision reduces uncertainty, folks may well go head with pricing changes they wouldn’t have bothered with earlier.
