    Net neutrality died and racially biased prohibition is perpetuated. Curious to see if the needle moves next election.

    @Jhon do you think that physical broadband will be superceded by wireless telco in a 5G world? it seems like this is the best disruptive technical solution to break the infrastructure monopoly. I hope that neutrality can be baked in

    "Oh, hell no. But I think it's gonna work."

    Heh, I am filing a LLC to answer that question. I am not convinced 5g microcell is the best permanent solution, but there is some emerging technology that I think can work quite well. The challenge is baking in neutrality, but the less massive the barrier to entry the more competitive the market. That can be baked in.

    yeah i think its naive to think neutrally can be built into 5g, considering the cell companies ....

    Interestingly, cell phone companies sold off a ton of their assets and lease the infrastructure from 3rd parties. That includes the fiber and towers. What people don't understand is the impact of internet fast lanes and data center colocation. The money to be made with the internet fast lanes isn't on the subscriber, it's on the content provider and repealing net neutrality gives leverage to the ISP against the content companies. That's why you've seen the content companies support net neutrality and the ISPs want it repealed. Voters/ subscribers never see the back-end mechanics.

    except that they have to pay for it in the end.

    I didn't say they didn't pay for it. Of course content companies (netflix, etc) are going to raise prices and the real demon, the ISP, maintains prices which looks to the uninformed customer that netflix is greedy. It's a clever play and we can thank our wonderful president and his apointees for this one.
