Exactly. In fact, I'd say as an entrenched incumbent, they have every reason now to oppose net neutrality. They can afford to make deals with the telcos and pay more for the bandwidth in order to keep the upstart competition out of the race.


Not seeing it. They're so entrenched that slower access only penalizes the user experience. ISPs peer with Facebook because there's so much bandwidth both up and down that it's in their best interest, too. Giving ISPs more leverage to charge only makes it easier for a worse product to succeed on a basis other than merit.
