"They've just been given permission to set up unlimited toll booths and control the speed limits to everywhere."

McDonalds has permission to charge you anything they want for a BigMac, and put whatever the want in it. What do they do?

People have choices about which providers to use, including those people running major sites. A provider that doesn't server their interests will lose their business. This is what socialists never understand.

They find ways to CONTROL THEIR COSTS and MAXIMIZE THEIR PROFITS. Using 73% burger rather than 80%, cheaper buns, etc, etc ) It's the nature of business to CONTROL their COSTS so as to MAXAMIZE PROFIT.

This is what socialists never understand.

Think about this.. currently I have friends with cell phones and tablets employing 4G and wi-fi connections to the Internet.

In most case they pay a monthly fee and received a certain amount of bandwidth usage. ( example: it's an unbeatable data deal for a trio -- a shared 12GB data plan with unlimited calls and text in the US for $85. Phones,though, need to be compatible with CDMA network.)

I have a desktop computer I use to access the Internet instead of a phone or tablet. I PAY $62 dollars a month for 100 MB/S connectivity and have a usage allowance of ONE TERABYTE a MONTH.

Removing net neutrality can and will turn, what you pay and how you access upside down, in ways consumers have nary a clue. Wait and see. Time will tell the tale.
