The impact was mitigated somewhat by states adding their own NN legislation. There has definitely been an increase in zero rating certain services like Spotify etc which creates new barriers to entry for smaller businesses though.
- ANewFormation 2y agoAny link to carriers 0 rating Spotify? I believe you but am also in the same boat of looking for literally any downside to net neutrality being canned. That said even this would hardly count as a negative for users though you're spot on about it hurting competition for other streaming services - on the other hand it's a way for ISPs to compete. Hmmm... still haven't formed an opinion on this issue yet.

- vitorbaptistaa 2y agoThis is very common in Brazil. Most carriers give free WhatsApp and Facebook access. As many Brazilians are in the cheapest plans, this basically mean that that's all they can access on their phones.
