In nearly everyone of those instances, the consumer has another choice. A good example would be the current consumer revolt against cable providers. At the end of the day, companies that make bad decisions will be penalized in the market place.
So in good faith you sign a 2 year contact with AT&T and buy an IPhone X, want to use FaceTime and it’s blocked.

With enough collusion
Collusion with who? If the government is completely out of the market then who will a company turn to to help them swing their weight around?

This is probably the dumbest thing I've ever read. The internet is merely a tool. Not a company. This is like saying farmers are monopolies because no one will be making new land.

Title II isn't synonymous with net neutrality - quite a few people weren't in favor of the Title II reclassification of ISPs, but agreed that it was ultimately necessary to preserve an open internet.
Yes, but Title II is synonymous with the current NN discussion and that is what people are arguing needs to be upheld. My thread title is obviously "click baited" and a more honest path would be to say, "No one should fear the removal of Title II and the FCCs authority to regulate broadband under the Communications Act of 1934" but how many would even know what that means
In fact, the FTC will regain the authority that it previously had to enforce NN. So, yes, NN isn't going to die per se, but the current ill advised regulatory structure.
The removal of Title II will allow for common sense management of data packets. They aren't created equally and don't need to be treated as such. Also, many of the examples that people use to highlight the coming internet apocalypse are based on outdated technology.
