As far as the internet providers charging for certain types of bandwidth or content, I just don't see it happening. They already have packages that charge based on speed and total bandwidth usage and that's all any of that boils down to.


for the first paragraph, that is true. But there's also free sites that have same material. They will now be throttled down. You'll still be able to PAY for netflix and watch it.

for 2nd paragraph, If nothings gonna change or get cheaper and better as some believe. Then why all the fuss from verizion and at&t.


I will also answer your question with a question, why was this not a big deal before Obama's FCC ever implemented "Net Neutrality"? All that was was a way for the federal government to get it's hands into controlling the internet.

My guess is we will see more partnerships and/or acquisitions between the major ISP's(verizon, at&t, comcast, etc) and the major content providers(Netflix, Facebook, etc). With the changing ways of how folks are receiving their content now - not just thru cable TV - then all of these big players will have to adapt to that and this is the start of it.
