This is another gift from President Trump. Perhaps it's a gift to
the democrats as well. If the GOP continues to shoot them selves
in the foot. The greater their loss in 2018. Millions are upset over
this takeover of the internet. Reports are that corporate IP's
spent millions lobbying for this change.
I am sure there was a few corporate parties following the vote by
the 3 GOP turncoats at the FCC. The GOP is always making claims
they are for the little guy, but it's a lie. It's the party of the far right
and big business. Not even for small businesses..
They claime it's all about compitition, but many rural areas only have
one provider. They have no choice unless they want to pay what ever
the corporate IP wants.
They say it worked in the past, but in the past the internet was growing,
and most ip's were small and doing what they could to get people online.
Now that the internet has largely matured with millions online they don't
have to worry about growing. I can remember when there was little
interest in providing internet for the public. Especially by big business.
Hopefully when the democrats take over they will reverse this. Especialy
when it proves to hurt people and the internet.
Personally I don't watch movies online due to vision, but many do, and
I am sure there are plans to charge extra fees for access. Most at risk
are the small startup internet businesses. The big corporate IP's
have their hands in other businesses. So if a individual tries to start
a small online business that is in competition with one a IP is invested
in it's likely they will block or limit access to it. It's unlikely a
individual could start a business like Amazon's founder did after
this change.
