No ISP monopolies in the US? Do some research... There are a lot but most areas are serviced by one.
And Net Neutrality is not a government oversight measure, it's a limitation on companies to expand their revenue streams. It means that they get their profit from their users not the content providers. It does not increase government control over the internet it just requires ISP's to adhere to the basic rule that they provide unhindered access to all things online.
I understand that you want to think that any rule increases government power. Net Neutrality did something else. It limited the markets ability to monetize and discriminate your ability to access content online. Something that was generally accepted in the early days of the internet until a corporation saw a means to defy and milk it.
Net Neutrality is not a new idea, it's always been here, long before 2015. Hence why the internet worked good. Then ISP's got greedy and tried for new revenue streams. Hence it was deemed necessary to codify it.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73577072 You don't understand how internet service providers work.
First off there's hundreds of wireless providers.
Secondly there are only 2-3 hard wired connections to choose from, the reason for that is because companies aren't allowed to come in and run new utility hard lines.
Why aren't they allowed to do that though?
Oh that's right more government regulation that says they can't.
That's right dummie, the reason why you can only get 1 cable internet service provider per area is because the government regulated how many hard wired utility lines could be installed per area.
More government control stifling innovation and progress.
And you support more of the control.
Like the good puppet you are.
