Pushing at an open door
Net neutrality is dead now that Ajit Pai is at the helm of the FCC. I like the idea, but the argument that John Oliver and others made for it was always a little shaky. There was some notion that Alice's garage startup would be strangled by not being able to get online and throttled by Evil Monopolist Bob. Given that Alice is almost certainly using connectivity from Slightly Less Evil Monopolist (C)Amazon, Bob would be shooting himself in the foot if everyone other than Bob's customers could get to Alice.
I for one am much more worried about the epic of cartel-ish, rent-seeking, collusional and downright evil behavior we are going to see from telcos for the next four years under the benign leadership of the Dear Leader.
