I haven't been following the aftermath of the net neutrality decision. Are there any data points that point to the impact of it being worse for most consumers, either in access or cost?
- ViViDboarder 6y agoNet Neutrality never really became status quo. It wasn’t in place for long enough to see any significant challenges. It’s removal was a return to status quo, so there would be nothing to measure. As a consumer, one thing that’s been visible to me, without Net Neutrality, is connectivity companies (AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, etc) buying media companies (HBO, Hulu, etc) and then implementing bandwidth caps and then zero rating their traffic to get edges over their competitors who don’t control the networks. There is some history of it, including links to research, on Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality
