What makes anyone think Net Neutrality is less of a pressing issue? Frankly, nowadays, it's even moreso of an issue than ever before!
Do you:
Ever find yourself wondering if you need to upgrade to a "business" plan to host that service?
Ever wonder why it seems one type of traffic ends up running into more problems than others?
Wonder why the local network infrastructure always seems to be woefully inadequate for any type of ambitious use?
All of that comes from a staunch lack of Net Neutrality. Dumb pipes, as many as possible, connecting everyone to everyone else. No QoS segmentation. no fast-lanes. No zero-rating. No nudging people toward one set of endpoints over another. No inspecting the bloody packet; just routing.
Unfortunately; we don't see that, because ISP's are way better at fee extraction and exec/lobbyist enrichment than actually getting bloody wire laid, maintained, and packets routed through the AS anymore.
If it's gotten quiet, it's probably because people are still trying to absorb/learn the implications/principles behind user hostile network topology resulting from exploitative business models.
