- Dirlewanger 9y agoNN does not address the regulations in place that protect the incumbent status of existing ISP monopolies.
- heurist 9y agoNo, but it prevents ISPs from blocking upstart competitors. Without NN an ISP can slow down a competitor's site or prevent access to a competitor's website or any website that advertises them or any advertisement they might run. Will they do that? I don't know. It would be easy to hide under a cable package model, and I certainly don't trust ISPs to offer any consumer protection.
