NET NEUTRALITY REPEAL FREED THE INTERNET

By ending what Obama’s administration named “Net Neutrality”, FCC freed the Internet. This regulation had little to do with neutrality and everything to do with Government control of the Internet. And if there is a worst place for Government control, that would be the Internet.

Proponents of the regulation had done much to confuse the issue by standing it on its head. They spread fear that providers would start charging different prices for different services. They distracted the public from the fact that allowing providers to make economic decisions to route traffic based on its requirements would reduce overall costs and prices. The mandate to treat all traffic the same has little to do with the cost of the traffic and everything to do with taking away the ability of the provider to route the traffic intelligently.

Don’t expect your cable Internet bill to increase, it will not. Chances are, your provider already has different levels of service based on the maximum bandwidth. That won’t change. You might, however, experience a more responsive Internet connection because providers can use their routing expertise and are not required to follow a crony mandate of a clueless bureaucrat.
