So, essentially, the Net Neutrality issue is quasi-demonstrably being resolved in favor of cable companies because they participate in government corruption to a greater degree than software companies, without regard to the opinions of the public, subject experts (EFF, academics) and the president. How is this a thing in a modern developed nation? This is pretty much some France Ancien Regime kinda stuff, where rich people could basically buy public offices from the crown and with them the right to operate them; only this is worse, because the money probably ends up in private pockets rather than any sort of national treasury or royal fund...
