  Right, because what Pai has to say on the subject is going to be neutral, factual, balanced, well-informed, and honestly informative...

  His argument appears to be that it was too much paperwork for a startup ISP. I have to admit I have no idea if this is the case, but it seems like someone running cables/fiber across a private land should already be adept at filing out paperwork.

  It's likely cherry-picked. There are many small ISPs who signed a letter saying otherwise: > We [ISPs across the country] have encountered no new additional barriers to investment or deployment as a result of the 2015 decision to reclassify broadband as a telecommunications service and have long supported network neutrality as a core principle for the deployment of networks for the American public to access the Internet. https://www.eff.org/files/2017/06/27/isp_letter_to_fcc_on_nn_privacy_title_ii.pdf https://www.eff.org/files/2017/06/27/isp_letter_to_fcc_on_nn...
