Honestly? None of the solutions presented so far (ie. try to persuade higher ups) will work. The only solution that will work is to make the telcos unnecessary. Home based Mesh networks, hacking internet over other channels - like you can tunnel ssh over https - direct competition to current market leaders. One thing is for sure, net neutrality will be abolished, but the other thing thats for sure is that hackers will find a way to make everything right again. Make no mistake, this is a battle, but it's a battle that we've won many times before.
