I think the death of net neutrality is an act of desperation (clearly someone is behind it, because...why now, why the spam comments, why so fast, etc), because cable was a medium of control, but broadband is a utility with little opportunity for resource extraction. Here comes 5g and lots of wireless bandwidth for even more price competition which will either put incredible pressure on the ISPs to violate net neutrality to extract value or create a proliferation of ISPs, ala the 90s that race to the bottom, some of whom will offer net neutrality as a feature of their service. Curious to see how the increase in bandwidth affects the market in the coming years. Wireless presents all kinds of interesting possibilities.
