What facts are you basing this on? The Comcast case was about them slowing down BitTorrent traffic because it was hogging bandwidth from other users and giving them a poor experience. I can tell you from my experience managing a corp IT network that we constantly had to block sites like BitTorrent because they would bring our network to crawl. The other issue is that there has never been a case where any provider has slowed traffic to a site they didn’t “like” The whole Net Neutrality campaign is based on this misinformation and the use of this one Comcast case ( explained poorly) as a reason the rules need to put into place. The question we should be asking is why the FCC is now saying that because of this case they see problems with their ability to serve the underserved “yesterday’s decision may affect a significant number of important Plan recommendations. Among them are recommendations aimed at accelerating broadband access and adoption in rural America; connecting low-income Americans, Native American communities, and Americans with disabilities” One has nothing to do with the other and we need to make sure they keep their focus on adoption and digital literacy.
