I definitely did not sign that petition as the continuation of the current Net Neutrality we all enjoy can only be protected with a these new FCC rules. On a personal level of being a Comcast customer and a Netflix subscriber if these rules don't exist I'll have the privilege of paying Comcast twice to watch Netflix. Without some new Net Neutrality rules in place Comcast will continue it's plans to force companies that aren't their customer like Netflix to pay to access Comcast's subscribers(me) and Netflix will be forced to pay and they in turn will be forced to raise their prices from their customers(me again). Currently the FCC has no legal authority to do anything about that situation or really any other situation involving the internet which proved in court by Verizon's complete victory over the FCC when they challenged the last set of rules.
So as it stands we have a multi-hundred Billion dollar industry with stagnant or declining quality of service, a standard of horrible treatment of customers, a stated desire to actively discriminate against new companies, a 'natural monopoly' which is preventing any new competitors, networks that have had hundreds of billions of dollars that had been given in subsidies, but yet have zero government oversight. Anyone else see why something needs to be done?
With the amount of power and influence these companies currently wield, changing the rules so the companies that provide what most of us would call a necessity so they do not have carte blanche to do whatever they want can only be positive in my view.
