The new Internet rules put access to selected content through mobile subscriptions at risk. The Federal Communications Commission is considering a ban on inexpensive plans, including selected Web access, offered by T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon to millions of Americans. Similar regulations in India prohibited Facebook’s Free Basics for daring to offer a free version of the Internet.
As a federal appeals court in Washington considers whether to invalidate Obamanet regulations, the FCC is doubling down. Last week the Democratic majority voted for the first time to regulate the price of business broadband, such as the dedicated lines linking banks to ATMs.
That’s just the latest violation of Chairman Tom Wheeler’s many pledges that his agency wouldn’t set prices. These regulations will further discourage needed investment in broadband.

Re: How to Kill the Internet
I had the opportunity to start an ISP to area that has no broadband...but all this regulation changed my mind, so the hardware I bought sits collecting dust.

Re: How to Kill the Internet
Why pour money down a drain?
No way you can make it with net-neutrality and being a small ISP.

Re: How to Kill the Internet
Sometimes you need know when to stop. The monthly payment for the T-1 lines won't stop after the contract was signed.
I'm not asking for sympathy - just that the Net Neutrality was the final nail.
