And yet, we (EU) have lost Net Neutrality before the US. It was shoehorned into the bill that ends roaming charges[1].
I’d be remiss not to mention it saddens me that every time the US has faced internet-related difficulties (SOPA, PIPA, this latest FCC decision), I’ve seen multiple Europeans making noise in support, yet I haven’t observed the reverse to be true at all. In our own fight for Net Neutrality or against the VAT reform that hurts mostly small business, what I saw from the US was crickets.
I agree with you that the EU is better than the US on these types of issues, but with every threat it faces, I see less results.
[1]: Which I appreciate and have taken good advantage of already, but would gladly give up for Net Neutrality.
