Social media was outraged about this, acting like the world was going to end without. But it's been gone for quite a while now and even Comcast has dumped data caps. Why did Net Neutrality fail to matter?
>>107905565yeah anon things only improved after it was gone, you are happier right?
>>107905565because net neutrality not being in place actually never meant ANY of that shit would ever take place. that was propaganda put in place by people who wanted to lobby for keeping it and it was the simplest braindead thing they could shoot on reddit and twitter to get people riled up about it, despite it being 100% untrue.
>>107905621While plebbitors are easily aroused to anger, it still was impressive how many people they got riled up and angry about it.
>>107905565>Why did Net Neutrality fail to matter?it just allows them to be even more of a cancer then ISPs already are, but they chose not to. they already have a 95% profit margin so why rock the boat
>>107905636in all fairness, the internet companies COULD do this. but if they do, they literally end up shooting themselves in the foot in favor of any competitor who doesn't. the idea was that the legislation ruled internet as a utility like electricity or water, which means you couldn't gimp connections to certain websites and charge a premium for unrestricted access. the problem with the entire thought process is that in order for this to become a thing, there would need to be an industry wide collusion to have all companies play by the same rules. corporations like money. they can nickle and dime you for some shit, but imagine finding out your competitor just doesn't do that, and charges the customer less, and has a larger consumer base as a result. you lose, essentially. business 101. the ONLY, ONLY way this would ever be a reality is if all the jew billionaires lobbied for it, got it signed into some kind of consumer law that said if one internet company does this they all have to do it and compete by the same standard. none of them do, nor do they want this.
>>107905790This. It turned out that internet providers aren't in a coordinated kabal like the Jews that sell gas.
>>107905621Telecom literally did exactly what OPs pic says in Germany, in the very first week after net neutrality was abolished in the EU. The only reason it failed was enormous backlash by the customers, threatening to cancel their contracts.
>>107905888Sounds like the marketplace worked like it should without needing government intervention.
>>107905949for now
>>107905790You assume the average normie would give a shit:https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0308596123001763Most places have only 1 internet provider so your logic fails there too.
>>107905790I think the big broadcasters will eventually lobby themselves into mandatory carriage on 5g+ and maybe satellite and fiber internet. Most politicians would be very happy for people to watch more of that stuff. Most advertisers as well. So I think in the future they'll mandate that a certain amount of mobile spectrum/5g/6g+ is dedicated to open unencrypted broadcasting/multicasting so devices even without a SIM could pick them up. The same way that cable tv was required to carry network broadcasters for free. So I think that wireless carriers will be required to broadcast these traditional feeds on their wireless networks at some point or that some spectrum will just be handed over to traditional broadcasters for the same purpose.
>>107905565The goyim should be constantly scarred and confused
>>107905790>in all fairness, the internet companies COULD do this. but if they do, they literally end up shooting themselves in the foot in favor of any competitor who doesn't.They can still get away with it in areas where they're the only ISP available.
>>107906130But they haven't. Why?
>>107906154They do in some countries, it just hasn't happened in the US much yet.
They don't need to do that if they can take over your pc and expel you to the ClOuD
>>107906154Source?
>>107906008>>107906130>Most places have only 1 internet provider so your logic fails there too.they have to compete with every company in the us even if they don't have any competition in a specific area. what are they gonna do, create subsidiary internet providers specifically for rural areas with one option to gimp their access to fucking netflix? all that means is people will move out of those areas, into better areas with proper internet and utilities. >in b4 they can't! the majority of the country will not settle for that crap and it carries over.
>>107905949And if it didn’t you’d accept it lol
>>107905565Mfw I dont use any of those services and pay $50/month.Wtf I hate net neutrality now, give me $5/month internet
>>107905790" a competitor who doesnt " your actually fucking retarded
>>107905565Opportunity for anons to relay content through facebook/twitter and charge $4/month per client for the service
>>107905736>>107907065This is the main reason here. They're already ripping you off, so why bother changing anything at all? US ISPs are so jewish it might as well be a third world country compared to some actual third world countries when it comes to internet availability.
>>107905565The DDOS protection mafia control things now (Cloudflare, etC)
>>107905565Turns out the fear mongers were lying as usual!
>>107906862Right because your average country bumpkin who pays $60 a month and gets shit internet will drop everything and move for a single utility, costing them 20x the original internet price. You're fucking retarded.
>>107907506I am not willing to pay more than $100/month for internet. I will literally cancel my service and have nothing at all. I will drive my ass to McDonalds or the library to pay bills or renew my car registration. Im old enough to remember life before home internet, I can go back.
If your government didn't pay for the IT infrastructure you rely on, and you didn't pay for it, this is the future you deserve. Your opinion on corporate monopolism is worth zero dollars, zero cents. If you don't pay, you don't get.
>>107905790>there would need to be an industry wide collusion to have all companies play by the same rulesYou fail to realize that this was mostly a US thing and in most places in the US you only have a single internet provider, or if you have multiple of them they're just sub-providers. So there's quite literally no competition.
