F.C.C. Repeals Net Neutrality Rules

I guess it's a wait-and-see situation now in regards to all the doomsday scenarios people have proposed if net neutrality is repealed.

It seems only time will tell, but it's done.

There's no doomsday, it just another win for the rich, if you have the money to pay, you will still get high speed access and be able to be seen by everyone. If your trying to control expenses you have to be satisfied with the basic speed and limited access.

And which party wanted this? [hint-hint, it wasn't the Dems]

Again, the working stiff gets another stiffy from the Regressive Party, so when will some people in the middle-income range finally come to realize that these right-wing millionaires/billionaires that are in office are not on their side?

What doomsday scenarios? Its just more of the trickle down philosophy that the wealthy corporations only screw us for our own good.

Of course it wasn't the Dems as this is a repeal of government Regulations. "0)

Anyways, I heard some people saying this still has to go through Congress and the Supreme Court.

Dunno if that's the case or not in these matters personally as to whether this can still be contested, or just a bureaucratic formality that it needs to go through before the FCC's deregulation takes effect.

Maybe somebody more knowledgeable of the process can chime in.

Hopefully this will be challenged in court. Repealing this has constitutional violations written all over it.

I expected as much, it really isn't surprising at all.
Now they just have to withstand the backlash and slowly ease their trash policies in on us lesser humans until we stop caring and live with it.

No, not "have to", they will.
Though doomsday scenarios are a bit of a stretch. Only a bit.

From what I've been able to gather, they voted to proceed with their intentions to repeal. I think it still has to go before Congress.

And even then, the rules that they're looking to repeal went into effect in 2015 (if I'm gathering everything correctly through... everything). So maybe it wont be as bad as everyone's making it out to be?

Really? You don't see how net neutrality is better for the consumer?

There's no doomsday scenario with this. It's just going to suck for consumers. Unless you happen to own an internet provider? Do you?

The 2015 ruling came about so telecoms couldn't charge premium rates for access, and it reclassified them so that they had to allow equal access to all of the internet for all of their customers.
