Tech Companies Protest Against Stacked Odds to Save Net Neutrality (net.xyz)

FCC's whole point that net neutrality is stifling the progress of internet because cable companies are not able to make sufficient investments to augment the speed is flawed. Cable companies are open to compete with internet companies by building their products and services on top their own distribution network. It is simple forward integration and since they have tried and failed to do so , now they want artificially created disproportionate advantage to help them compete.


FCC has already received more than 6 million comments. Ignoring the voice of millions of citizens just shows what real motivations of Trump backed Ajit Pai is and whose interest they truly serve. And the worst part is they are doing all of this in the name of 'Restoring Internet's Freedom'


What is AT&T's stand really on net neutrality. They were the ones who started this whole thing and now they have come to forefront to join the protests. Old school cable companies are just hypocrites who are adept at creating artificial moats to justify their lack of innovativeness


Already posted comment on FCC website supporting net neutrality and urge other people to do so as well.
