What does Net Neutrality have to do with your story?

• jjoonathan 9y ago
  It's strong evidence that net neutrality wasn't the dominant factor "crippling investment."

    Isn't it the opposite? A new ISP competing is presented as something noteworthy and unusual. That's exactly what we would expect to see in an environment of crippled investment.

      >A new ISP competing is presented as something noteworthy and unusual. But it is. I moved here from a large city and my _first_ thought after having FiOS for a couple years was damn, TWC; throttling, data caps & absenteeism. I heard nothing but complaints and horror stories from locals but the only alternative was (only) Frontier which was somehow worse. In the view you present, how is overturning NN not benefiting TWC while at the same time allowing for more investment and growth? Wouldn't that be detrimental to TWC's business? Not to mention this new ISP's expansion didn't really start until after NN was enforced, whether coincidentally or not.
