It was bound to happen sooner or later. I think most of the informed were counting down the days until counter legislation would be introduced. Hopefully this goes nowhere. I think the importance of net neutrality is severely downplayed by most. Considering the vote for the new legislation was 3-2 (Democrats on the for side 3 and Replublicans on the against side 2), I'm sure nobody is really surprised. I see the jobs card is being played here: My legislation will put the brakes on this FCC overreach and protect our innovators from these job-killing regulations. What is job killing about legislation that was introduced to prevent telecommunication companies and internet service providers from unfairly extorting large sums of money out of companies like Google and Netflix in exchange for faster speeds? Sure the legislation goes further than that, but the whole point of net neutrality legislation was to prevent these companies from unfairly strong-arming companies and stifling innovating by locking out smaller players who don't have the same amounts of money companies like Netflix do.
