“Or let ISPs charge for bandwidth and total throughput. If the user wants to download a terabyte of movies in a month, then the ISP can charge for those bits without discriminating whether it is from Netflix, Amazon, Hulu or some new service and which of those is paying the most to the ISP.”

Sounds too logical to charge people on their actual use of the ISP rather than a flat fee.

Apparently the satellite ISP’s do charge the users for their level of use.

The loss of net neutrality is intended to bring back the total control of message propaganda, be it L/R political, or corporate. It will be controlled by big media, just like it was in the days where network TV (using public airwaves), except it will be far more propagandized because the media is more consolidated now and with print media.

The blogs and alternative news sites will be put on dial-up equivalent networks (like late night low power AM radio) or bought out and dismembered by big media.

What this country needs is to send both establishment Parties out to pasture and replace them with Party or Parties that holistically serves the country. Not the US Chamber of Commerce, not bankers, not the UN, not the globalists, not illegal immigrants, not the global corporations but primarily for the USA Constitution and the interests people.

Most of us are already paying $50 and up/mo for broadband internet connections with half of it being eaten up with advertisements. We pay to watch ads.
