> This is exactly what the end of net neutrality looks like Probably yeah. We can party thank the ignorant mob mentality of the Internet for it. Over the last year or so we've heard nothing but gloom and doom about how terrible the end of net neutrality would be but hey free unlimited streaming music? That sounds nice. Why didn't pro-regulation folks mention that part? It's almost like they were intentionally misleading people to further their best interests? Maybe exactly like those ISPs who realized it was in their best interest to break into a new market of companies with multi-million/billion dollar profits who are willing to pay-to-play? > nearly impossible for startups to break into new markets What's the point in pretending these startups don't have the exact same motivations as ISPs or even other services who opt to pay for the 'fast lane' to improve their service? Everyone is out to maximize their own profits and since the ole' economic ladder has a few broken rungs we know the average consumer isn't going to magically have more money to spend anytime soon. This has always simply been a debate over who gets to take the money. > only the ones that T-Mobile has approved here. If it's all doom and gloom then surely it will create a great opportunity for new players to jump into the ISP market and provide 100% cap free / 100% net neutral / 100% SLA 24x7 guaranteed speeds to consumers. If the issue is as one-sided as we have been led to believe then perhaps companies like FaceBook wouldn't be prioritizing their billions on WhatsApp or maybe Apple wouldn't be spending billions on Dr. Dre? Maybe instead they would be investing money into jumping into the ISP market? If the top 5 major tech companies in the US banded together and invested even 10% of their revenue in the ISP market this would be a non-issue. So why don't they? Turns out they can make more money buying Dr. Dre and their motivations are exactly the same. Money... Good.
