Google et al want the infrastructure to be dumb pipes so they can direct traffic by manipulating search results. Ending NN is bad for them but it is yet to be shown it will be bad for the consumer.
You're your ISP's customer but Google's product.
- thirdsun 9y agoEnding net neutrality is, while not in their longterm interest, just fine for Google & Co. - they are already established players that are able to afford the bandwidth and overcome whatever other barriers ISPs might come up with. It's the future services and companies that might challenge Google, Facebook and Netflix someday. They won't be able to enter the market due to not being able to afford access to the fast lane.
