Go do some research on this topic before you start spewing bullshite.
I'm asking a question.
I know they didn't start fighting for this today or even last week. It has been going on forever.

I dont know how long it will take before ISP's will start selling premium internet, or slowing internet speeds to your favorite sites, ahem, tigerdroppings, if you dont pay them, but if they win it is only a matter of time.

Think about it this way.
One possible trend is the way ISP's charge you for what you do on the internet.
Cable TV companies have profitably provided different "packages"
Would you want an internet that would only let you visit ESPN.COM if you purchased the "Sports and Information" tier?
How about a network where Cox charges you to be routed to ESPN and then ESPN charges you for access to their content?
How bout throttling? Would you want an internet where your ISP throttles the speeds to their competitor's content?
I'm not much of a "chicken little" minded person. I never buy into conspiracies or biased "fake news" but I am as alarmed at the stripping of the Open Internet regulations as I was when Obamacare was introduced.
Sometimes government rules are a good thing for the market as it ensures free and equal access for all businesses, large or small.
People say that if you don't like the way your ISP handles things then leave for another provider. Well most times there isn't a TRUE alternative as most competing ISP's simply resell the same network that Cox was going to provide to you anyways.
