"Needless to say, that didn't happen. None of it did. Foes of net neutrality were clearly correct that the internet didn't need the government to save it, and absent federal direction and regulation, everything is fine."
It wasn't about 'saving the Internet' explicitly, it's about 'saving the equal access to the Internet'. For many people across the country, they don't get a choice of their ISP, or if they do, it's a duo-opoly in their market. Net-Neutrality was designed to preserve the equal treatment of data, and the hindrance of certain providers.
Arguably, you can see how the Internet has become more entrenched with the biggest players taking on more 'space' among the masses.
