Ending net neutrality (a socialist endeavor) is a step in the right direction. They need to keep deregulating in the ISP/cable space, though. This will allow for competition, which is the driving force of innovation, better pricing, service, support, etc..
So, when some major ISP starts catering to only the 1%, other opportunity-seekers (business owners) will see a massive opportunity to address economic demand. This fact alone will prevent said ISP corp from acting against the interest of consumers. |
The right isn't for deregulation, thats talk for the simple masses. What they want is deregulation to help their benefactors. The big isp's pay big lobbying dollars to stop small govs to offer internet which is faster and cheaper. They don't want a free market they want a closed market. The way it hurts small biz owners ,you sell whatever but so does amazon. They pay to be in the fast lane and you lose customers because you are in the slow lane.
Also they now can say you want access to adult content you now have to pay $50 more a month.
