> The likes of Google & FB stand to benefit most from (for example) connecting the last 50% in low income countries. They have the resources to pay for it. Letting them will (at the margin) mean more access for more people. It's hard to argue that for those people, theoretical net neutrality is worth more than net access. If they stand to gain from more people getting on the internet, they can pay for it right now, without scrapping net neutrality. The only reason to scrap net neutrality first is to make it possible for incumbents to lock people into their service so new disruptors can't challenge them. People against net neutrality are either paid or have an extremely naive view of what a "free market" is.
