It hasn't gone into effect yet. They know their viewers are dumb.

I wonder how many Fox viewers will swallow this. That he believes he can just say, "Look, you got up this morning, went on the internet, and nothing has changed." is just unbelievable.

That's like saying North Korea is a "free and open" society so just fuck you Ajit Pai and your FOX AND FRIENDS.

....

~ vastly increased profit schemes by your cable, DSL, or satellite ISP (Internet Service Provider).

~ pay to play for commercial enterprises. Pay a premium price get premium service and premium internet speeds. They have intentionally with held ultra high speed internet service from the general public to hold this high speed service in reserve to the day they can put a premium price tag on this fast speed internet service. That day is now here - the availability of two tier - multi tier internet speeds is now upon us. The internet is now no longer mandated to be a level playing field for all participants. Pay a premium you get premium high speed internet connections of both coming and going sending and receiving data signals. Pay the standard rate - get the slower speed - more akin to good old days of sending a telegram, telegraph or pony express message rather than using the Internet.

~ Goosing and boosting the Ultra Conservative and Fascist political viewpoints on the Internet.

~ Denying, throttling down, blocking more Liberal and Progressive political viewpoints.

Watch how the right wing will play the end of Internet Neutrality to their political advantages. The hit to our Democracy at first hard to detect by more readily apparent just down the road.
