You see that mentality engrained in the US government with net neutrality rules. Companies such as T-Mobile are offering unlimited data on their curated list of specific video streaming sites, and companies such as AT&T are throttling Netflix streams so as not to compete with their own video sharing service. What used to be a super-highway is becoming a mess of toll roads, and this is slowly being done under the guise of an attempt to create more competition.
Facebook also has no qualms on encroaching on net neutrality rules in developing countries, and they have set up services in cellular networks all around the world where they provide customers with free access to only their own social network. Many citizens are under the impression that Facebook == internet. Some countries such as Chile have banned this practice quoting their own net-neutrality laws. However, currently the US seems to be taking a big step backwards for little economic or political gain.
