Also the fact that we can't run servers from our home connections is ripe for a challenge if we ever get net neutrality protections back.
The 2015 Order said this, "A person engaged in the provision of broadband Internet access service, insofar as such person is so engaged, shall not block lawful content, applications, services, or nonharmful devices, subject to reasonable network management."
I would argue that banning personal email servers or personal servers at all is not reasonable network management (e.g. a nest thermometer or a smart microwave or an Alexa/Siri thing is a server), and if we're looking to explore home appliances that decentralize the web, we need to ensure that broadband providers' policies don't block them. Google Fiber screwed this up too.
