    the industry claims that the lack of change in that period indicates that federal rules are unnecessary and fear they will impede investments in innovation.

    Lol what innovation could an ISP make that is good? We want them to be dumb and simple. Their job is to route our traffic at the limits of the speed of light.

      there is an argument that prioritising traffic would be a good thing - pay more for high priority video calls etc, or pay less for things you don’t care about like bulk download

      … but we can’t trust ISPs to wield these powers responsibly and in ways that’s good for consumers
