Re:Ask HN: What impact would the repeal of net neutrality have? by PaulRobinson on Monday November 20, 2017 @03:04AM (#15738503)
I've stated in the past that I think the market will make the choice to go with ISPs that don't "bundle" sites and NN will win. It was pointed out to me that in many parts of the World there is no competition, and therefore the cheaper "bundle" packages will eventually win out.

It will kill the startup, because you'll need the cash to take on the established players.

It will kill off blogging and independent publishing on the web because most sites will be inaccessible to most consumers.

In short, it will turn the Internet into a closed wall system controlled by those with the money, much like network television is.

So, in order to preserve NN, it is the USA, and not sub Saharan Africa that really needs a project Loon (not run by google, ideally).
