    Ajit Pai isn't listening to America at all. Net Neutrality is going to die.

    Even worse, I heard that Fuckhead Pai won't help investigate the fake comments and just push ahead with the votes...

    That's a good question. My guess is that it probably will.

    It will probably be grouped into a "Gaming" or "Social Media" purchasable package.

    But purchasable packages aren't a viable business model if there are any regular ISPs around, because not enough people would buy them over traditional ones.

    It's not popular enough to get put into a Bundle. Chances are it will be in a $100 a month "All the Internet, at your hands!" bundle. Or it will be blocked a long with all the other small ones.

    I doubt they're just gonna straight up block a whole bunch of sites. Atleast not right away (I hope). Worst they'll probably do is slow it down

    I am starting to find out the truth of this entire situation. It seems completely different than what I'm currently being told. Please stand by while I do more research before I state an opinion.

    Hard to slow down satellite internet, the *second slowest internet available!
    In all seriousness, internet technology enhancements will probably slow down because it won't be used. Just a theory.

    I can't wait for major ISPs to categorize every single website into an available package and accurately and consistently block them because companies dedicated to doing that thing for schools and businesses already do it perfectly well in an impassable manner and will all go out of business

    I mean what

    Guys.. Stop worrying so much.. Wait, shouldn't say that, it'd be a good idea to worry but not as much..?, with the included package of BT not being happy with Ajit Pai's ideas, this is what I think'll happen:
    Net neutrality stops.
    US wide riots and protests happen.
    USA loses money as a consequence.
    -1 month-
    USA starts losing massive amounts of money trying to deal with riots.
    US dollar loses value resulting in an economic crash.
    -RECOVER STAGE-
    That's what I'll imagine will happen.

    I'm not sure it would be that stupid, I think this would happen
    Net neutrality stops.
    Some people riot.
    They get arrested.
    A lot would rant on Tweeter
    1 month later
    Most would move on
