The Net Neutrality debate seems so quaint now. In January 2021, ISPs are pretty much the least likely level of the stack to interfere with who can be on the internet. Hosting companies, cloud providers, payment providers, and big media platforms are where decisions are made.
- undefined1 6y agoRight, the fear about Net Neutrality was largely directed at ISPs. That they would create fast lanes and bundle web sites like cable providers. I admit, I bought into that fear. But it didn't happen. Plus average US broadband speed has increased drastically, up 91% from 2019-2020[1]. Maybe big tech/media needs to ask themselves, "are we the baddies?" 1. https://fairinternetreport.com/research/usa-vs-europe-internet-speed-analysis https://fairinternetreport.com/research/usa-vs-europe-intern...
