The point is precisely that FANG-style companies are in a position to pay for the faster tiers, leaving their would-be competitors stuck with the slow lanes — this is one of the arguments for why removing net neutrality stifles competition.

I’ll just sit by and wait for Facebook Amazon Netflix and Google to “do the right thing” and subsidize my internet for free. I’m sure that would be a welcome plan at their shareholder meetings.

Like Google Fiber?

"The estimated cost of wiring a fiber network like Google Fiber into a major American city is $1 billion."
