You're basically just parroting everything I've seen on Reddit today, including graphics. That graphic is straight up fear mongering. It's like saying that just because I can light my house on fire I'll do it.

Just because an ISP can bundle sites in packages doesn't mean they'll do it. As soon as they do, they pave the way for competition in their regions. Companies like Cox have worked for years to buy out competition in their regions, why would they give it right back?

Reddit seems to believe there is documented collusion between all the companies to do this together.

And this collusion will not be prosecuted.

That graphic is worst case scenario for potential bundling. It's meant to prove a point, in what would be allowed. And I've heard and read everything I've said from didn't sources over the last few months. I've never seen or read anything that shows a benefit to Americans by removing NN.

This seems to contradict itself. If Cox has bought up all the competition in an area, then how can anyone in that region switch? If they have a monopoly, they can do whatever they want. And by removing the law, they'll be legally allowed to bundle and censor.

I have a question for you.

Can you name 1 benefit to the American consumers on removing net neutrality?
