This is a slippery slope. When I see people making seemingly irrational decisions I tend to think that there is some information that I don't have but is available to those CEOs who are making these decisions. Internet businesses have grown like anything in last two decades and we haven't really fully exploited its potential. What Verizon and AT&T are doing is basically killing a Golden goose. AT&T's core strength is to lay out those cable, build towers and give internet endpoints to consumers. AT&T's knowledge about what people can potentially do with those endpoints is as good as an Indian farmer's knowledge about flying planes. End of net neutrality will add friction to new ideas getting successful. It will also mean internet will have less and less meaning to end consumer eventually leading to a scenario where both internet businesses and ISPs will lose. For example I have been using a prepaid AT&T card with Google Nexus because I find the contract based shit and expensive data plans nothing but thuggery. I am not willing to live without 3G, 4G and whatever comes next because At&T pricing does not make sense to me (though I can afford it).
