can net neutrality actually happen?

Trump wants to reverse anything Obama did

I think you mean, "Can this happen if net neutrality is repealed?"

Yes, it can. Comcast can give a discount to their streaming service but, throttle back Netflix. It is a genuinely awful plan.

Well done, trump voters!


After Comment:
"Nope, because that's be an Anti Trust laws violation. [sic]" I get the impression you're not a legal scholar. And if you are, I bet Comcast has a few of their own attorneys.

Us paying for social media is not what net neutrality means.

The FCC committee is made up of 3 GOP / 2 DEMs. You folks will have to live with those votes / results, today.

When Trump's FCC kills net neutrality, the service providers will be able to convert to a system similar to cable television. You'll have to pay more to access the sites you want, similar to paying more to get HBO with your cable package.

Of course you can be required to pay for social media. You get charged for the telephone and cable TV, don't you?

If it passes, you'll be paying for quite a bit.

I can’t see it

Yes. It is law in a lot of different countries, and the current FCC chairman supports repealing net neutrality. It could easily happen.

Anybody who thinks regulating the internet like the cable company will keep it from becoming the cable company is a ******* idiot.
