I already received a zero-rating notification on my cell. Holy fucking shit I cant wait until they go hardcore with it and throttle the living shit out of everything but their service while jacking the price of data through the roof.
I also cannot wait for my ISP to start doing this as well!!11!!1!! (because im fucked and can only pick between the giants for internet). You just know they will roll with this once the cell providers fire it up.
So excited I could post a happy face with a carat.
It would be alright if by law they couldn't have monopolies over metro areas. Kinda bullshit...

Where i live my choices are limted to comcast, or dial up
fucking sucks senpai
In the first place, article directly states that the worst they can do is repeal a 2015 law. We know very well that Internet existed just fine before 2015.

Zero-rating is literally fine. Also why all the >'s? Are you phoneposting?
>>58832994
He is phoneposting AND he is retarded.
>>58832966
the "nine company" lifeline discount is literally just a 9$ discount
i mean if you need internet that badly skip starbucks a couple times, skip a pack of beer
>>58833011
You're approaching this from the wrong direction. Net neutrality, the way it was presented to us, is about forbidding ISP from discriminating sites that its clients can connect to. It has nothing to do with prices nor discounts.
>>58832988
I hear that.
My choices are so poor its laughable.
I can go with AT&T and sign a 1-2 year contract with unreal early termination fees and the fastest they offer is 25mbps.
Or I can go with comcast that has a half assed speed (75mbps). But has data caps and consistently over charges me every single month.
My other two options are dish or some obscure isp with 1mbps speeds.
In this day and age its such a drag to live within a major city especially and be screwed so hard for internet.

might not have ended up so bad if the DNC and Hillary hadn't fucked themselves right in the shitter.
>>58833002
This. Im just retarded.
I lurk, I dont post, so I fuck it up when I do post.
>>58833026
good thing i was talking about something other than net neutrality, dipshit
>>58833028
>>58832961
Why are you panicking? It's the same press that cried about trump being literally Hitler and predicting his loss with 90% likelyhood. The article OP linked is talks about net neutrality being the target but then lists things completely unrelated to net neutrality.
>>58833041
What was the point of writing your post as a response to mine then?
Regardless how you feel about Trump, Hillary/dems would have done exactly the same shit regardless of what she promised, and everyone knows it.

You realize that Silicon Valley is in the middle of a bubble right now that could burst any minute right?. Also, automation literally always has been around since the 1850s. Automations isn't taking anyone's jobs. It's things like NAFTA and the TPP which are taking our jobs away, which Trump essentially made sure were they were either rejected in full or about to be renegotiated. At least read up on politics/history before shitposting, euroshit.
