Re: Net Neutrality question

Actually, it's more likely to be who companies are in bed with, and what websites are part of their portfolio.

My take is they actually won't care about tiny sites, but the moment they hit it big, they could be theoretically be handed what amounts to a blackmail letter (pay the ISP or we'll slow down access to your site). Which will stifle newcomers who can't afford the demanded fees.

Example: If Verizon wanted to slow access to the Fox News website to a crawl unless Fox News pays an exhorbitant sum, they could.

For an actual, not theoretical example, I got a slight, fortunately not long-lasting taste of it before Net Neutrality came along. NBC was having a fight with Time Warner over contract negotiations, so they blocked those with Time Warner service (this was a cable package fight, NOT an internet one, and it bled over) from watching shows on the website. All you'd get was a notice that amounted to: "We don't want you stinky Time Warner people accessing our online videos, so suck it".
