Amazingly good news!

The argument that net neutrality protects the little guy, the small startup, etc is backwards. Internet giants like Facebook, Google, Netflix et al. only want net neutrality so that their current business model is protected through government force.

There are plenty of mechanisms in place to keep telcos in check. (e.g. FTC, customer choice).

If we really want to reform Internet policy create more competition in the marketplace by making it easier to start an ISP not harder.
