This reminds me of the free market drive in India. First generation of companies after market reforms, like Airtel, would openly scream "free market" and destroy state held BSNL's monopoly.
But they now want more regulations on a free internet, they work against net neutrality because "a large amount of their invested money" would be derailed.
Basically when it happens to others, its free market. When it happens to you its unfair/harsh.
