facebook, google, Netflix and the rest of the members of The Internet Association are republican donors now? Are you serious? These liberal leaning companies create regulation within the states that is beneficial to them. Because of government regulation you call for regulation to fix that regulation. And if it doesn't happen it's because of Republicans? Amazing. (ETA: I know those companies aren't ISPs..they are members of the association in the OP)

Your post makes no sense at all. The Internet Association is for Net Neutrality.

ISPs are the gate keepers to the internet. You can't reach Google, Netflix, etc without one. The Internet Associations and most a majority of consumers want all internet traffic treated equally and for the ISPs not to be able to throttle or outright block access to sites for profit.

You're right. The last thing we want is for private businesses to earn a profit for their services.

Go back to my original statement that started you and the other snowflakes melting. I used the word "indiscriminately" when referring to ISP's charging for/regulating their services.

There is a damn good business reason why a user who uses 50 gigabytes of data in a month should pay more than someone who uses 2 gigabytes of data in a month.

Or if the user doesn't want to pay more, then his data speed is slowed rather than overwhelming the capacity of the ISP's technology.

And I don't want a fricking government bureaucrat deciding if that business reason makes sense to them or not.
