It's not a case of Obama or Trump "looking out for" anyone, it's a case of bandwidth owners taking Congress for granted and Congress sticking it to them for having not been paid to grant what they assumed they had. Obama was just the only one who had the media smarts to make it look like it was his baby and he was the one looking out for people.

Since that time, the bandwidth owners realized that Congress had to be paid for a particular set of favors and so they've paid. Now it's time for Congress to deliver what their paymasters paid for.

You can look at it any way you like, makes no never mind to me, but when you can't get to any site that disagrees with the democrat media machine don't pretend you had no idea how the elimination of neutrality would work out.

I thought we wanted government control out of the internet.

Evidently not...

Bandwidth owners did not seek NN so congress and the FTC is not doing them any favors now. Google and Netflix and other Prog/Libs wanted NN which is just the chum used to bait us into a government controlled internet. No content provider has a “right” to be carried over a bandwidth provider. If you wish to invent that right via NN the accept that the government will also have “content cannot be carried” right as well.

Explain why any internet business should have to file a plan with the FTC for approval? NN was becoming the new fairness doctrine and we know how well that worked out for conservative speech.

Sorry. After rereading your reply I realized you may have been making the case for eliminating net neutrality. Your first paragraphs seem to make the case for doing so. Your conclusion just seems to me to be a little vague.
