Why aren't all of the major tech companies pouring money into a swarm of lobbyists to stop the repealing of net neutrality if they are concerned it will be bad for business?

- thephyber 9y ago> major tech companies The shoestring startups are the ones that will be hurt, not deep pocketed tech companies. Major tech companies already live in an environment of parasites that sue them daily like non-practicing entities + patent infringements. This will just become another "fee" they pay. Plus, Ajit Pai has already been seated as FCC commissioner. He already has a Republican majority on the commission. It's basically a foregone conclusion and lobbying Congress now is too little too late. If tech companies with clout were going to do this, they would have done it years ago.
