I read Wheeler's statement as sarcasm. He said the decision was "tragic" right before that line. It seems like he is implying that nobody likes cable companies, and now they're going to hate the similarities in internet service providers if this bill passes.
Wheeler, despite being a former industry man, definitely pushed for the consumer agenda despite industry pressure.
- hoprocker 9y agoUpvote -- the sarcasm comes through when this is put into context.

- goialoq 9y agoIt's not sarcasm, it's an honest conditional statement.
- TheKarateKid 9y agoWheeler did end up helping consumers, but not from the start. His first year or two in office he was against net neutrality and very supportive of telecom/cable companies - although nowhere near as bad as Pai. It wasn't until Obama's Administration whipped him in line that he actually started championing pro-consumer policies.
