Here is the rub!
The regulations classify broadband access as a telecommunications service, which subjects it to “common carrier” provisions that bar Internet service providers from discriminating against how broadband is used. The regulations were passed in February 2015 by the FCC, then led by chairman Tom Wheeler. Wheeler’s successor Ajit Pai, a vocal critic of that move even while serving under Wheeler, has vowed to revisit the issue.
Obama wanted government reach into the internet the same as phone lines and power lines!
Quoting: PatrikC325 Which is a bad move. The reason we are still sitting on technology that hasn't had much traction for TV, phones lines, and power is that the tech is older than your great grandmother and protected by localized monopolies. The internet was burning through advancements year after year because of the free market principles of it, there was always space in the market to make it better if any one provider was behaving poorly. With net neutrality in place, expect entrenchment from big carriers, deinvestment from small companies trying to break into the market, and an overall slowdown until it turns into a pitiful pile of shit that is slow and heavily regulated out the ass.
