Key word, "may", Business Insider is speculating. Trump has made no public indication that he is for ending net neutrality, and, he has made statements indicating that he is no friend to companies pushing against net neutrality.

I'm tired of people ignoring what the article says and what the politician in question has said, so here is the tweet that was referenced in the article: https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/53260835850816716...

> Obama’s attack on the internet is another top down power grab. Net neutrality is the Fairness Doctrine. Will target conservative media.

That's a fairly clear indication that Trump is "for ending net neutrality" in my opinion.

Also, consider this from the article:

> To see how the Trump administration would approach zero rating, you might want to consider the name Jeffrey Eisenach. He's an economist, consultant, and longtime advocate of deregulating the telecoms industry — in other words, he's adamantly opposed to the current net neutrality rules. In October, Politico reported that he was advising the Trump campaign on its strategy toward net neutrality and other FCC-related issues.

Who cares what Trump thinks? It's all the people he's appointing. It's like he fooled his supporters the most by saying he's anti-establishment. Who thought any damage could come from George W. Bush? But now we're reaping the whirlwind of policies that we couldn't even imagine.

He seems to be against regulations as a rule so I think that the idea he could deregulate internet infrastructure to be worth worrying about now.
