> consumers would dump those ISPs in favor of others.
Competition does not exist in the US for ISPs.
> Some Companies Take Up More Bandwidth Than Others.
They pay for that bandwidth and we pay for the connection. Asking companies to pay more so they're not artificially throttled does not make sense in the actual world of the internet.
> The Government Still Allows Discrimination In Traffic.
Saying because there is vague language in NN we need to get rid of it entirely does not make any sense what so ever. You don't demolish a building because the window is broken.
> Barriers to Entry Are Created
NN removes barriers to entry for many startups that simply can't pay the "troll bridge" of the ISPs.
> Technological Stagnation
These ISPs that are for the removal of NN were given billions of dollars in tax breaks to make the internet better in the US. NN has nothing to do with development of the internet, and using Europe as an example is pretty stupid. Europe has NN, they also have heavy governmental regulation in terms of the last mile.
Saying NN is bad because it doesn't solve that problem is like saying oranges are bad because they can't power your car. It's a totally different matter.
> Internet Taxes Could Happen
If these taxes are used to deploy more public owned fiber lines, I'm all for it.

NN has nothing to do with this.
