It may or may not cost pennies (fighting an army of lawyers or getting authorizations), but the delays are toxic to any customers the firm may have.<br /><br />Even if there's no law on net neutrality, fewer people will want to use ISPs who don't treat all sites good enough. Prioritized traffic in itself doesn't bother me, if there's enough of it. <br />I suppose Google could provide that kind of service along with the Blogger platform, if it were to happen.<br /><br />My point is let the people decide, continually, by subscribing to the ISP of their choice - one that is more expensive, bub doesn't get bought by big corporations, or one that is cheap but shows you ads more quickly than the rest of the content.<br /><br />By legislating, you're forcing everyone to pick the more expensive one. Maybe not everyone can afford that.autoencoderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276894431071453667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1425446087770384647.post-11367508456059688342014-09-15T12:19:48.716+03:002014-09-15T12:19:48.716+03:00The main barrier to more players in the telecom in...The main barrier to more players in the telecom industry is the cost for developing infrastructure, not regulations. It is very expensive to lay cable/build cell towers/deploy satellites to provide a good coverage. Compared to that, fulfilling regulations is pennies.<br /><br />Also, what will happen to your blog if there is no net neutrality? Will you pay 10000$ every year so that ISPs load you site in a reasonable site? Because if it will take more than 30 seconds to load, your viewership will plummet.
