Net Neutrality renders ISP companies, by comparison to pre-NN, so unprofitable that they cannot lay new lines or upgrade their infrastructure.
Keep in mind that the basis behind NN is grounded in a bill that is nearly ninety years old and existed to regulate the earliest phone lines. The Internet succeeded because when ARPA and the DOD turned it over, the people that assumed its governance said "there will be no regulation of this sucker whatsoever".
The Internet is free, open, and successful because the government wisely refused to ruin it. Net Neutrality is government regulation of the Internet, which stifles profits, which in turn, stifle infrastructure upgrades. If you want to end the USA's reign as the dominant innovator of the Internet, by all means, let the government ruin the Internet.
Love too get off on being dommed by big business
