This analysis collapses because the OP fails to realize that the big players (FB, Google, Amazon, Netflix, etc) don't benefit from net neutrality nearly as much as the long tail of sites and services. ISPs know that an internet service without FB is worthless, so they're motivated to work out deals and create bundles. It used to be ESPN and HBO, now it's Google and Netflix.
- raverbashing 9y ago> realize that the big players don't benefit from net neutrality Yeah, the big players don't realize this is stupid. Who says they won't get fleeced by the ISPs? Having your business rely on a monopolist that could antagonize you will most likely backfire. "Oh but they are the incumbents" who do you think is easier to extort, the small startup or the bigger company? I hope Fb is charged for all their auto play videos
