I remember doomsday talk when neutrality went in. Hell, isn't it only since 2015? I don't see the end of days with CompuServe and AOL type segregated networks happening If we pedal back to 2015. I dunno if deregulation is going to improve anything, I just doubt we're going to see the internet change in any significant way.

Quoted from Brijam:

History has shown every single time that when regulations are lifted, prices increase, monopolies and cartels form, services diminish, and in many cases human lives and environmental devastation occur. These aren't debatable positions. They're facts.

These facts are bogus. Not one time in history has deregulation lowered prices​? Improved services? You're pushing lies when you say garbage like this, at least go with most of the time it doesn't turn out well. Deregulation is debatable, and in some circumstances the outcome is beneficial.

Sure, Is the cost really lowered if we're paying to clean up some eco disaster a decade later? Regulations have purpose, but the pendulum can and does swing too far.

Quoted from Brijam:

I have an idea. Instead of calling me a liar, cite some evidence for your claim.

I'm kind of shocked that you confuse your argument with some kind of absolute truth. A much more reasonable position would be "most of the time deregulation is bad"
That's the only point I'm making.

I don't think it matters either way at this stage and agree with emkay about the FUD arguments. If things ever got really saturated (if that's even possible?) I could see the google guy's position (similar data types should not be discriminated against, but okay to discriminate across different data types) having a valid purpose to maintain usability of the network.
