1. And a big loss

for some of her major donors.

2. And here I thought she was a corporatist, at least according to some here at DU.

4. She is...

here's a summary on her position
'Hillary Clinton has indicated support for net neutrality. She gave two thumbs up to FCC chairman Tom Wheeler’s proposal for strong net neutrality rules, though admitted it was only a “foot in the door.” Clinton has expressed concern that regulations could mean stagnant competition among service providers, saying “we’ve got to do more about how we incentivize competition in broadband.” And she’s committed to fighting broadband monopolies, citing Google Fiber in Kansas City as a perfect example of what she wants to see everywhere in the US.

Clinton’s $275 billion infrastructure proposal, which some have called “modest,” includes a section on developing US broadband infrastructure, though no specific budget is mentioned. She’s also promised to continue Obama’s progress on bringing 5G networks to the US, but those networks wouldn’t realistically be widely adopted until the end of her (theoretical) first term.'

here's Bernie's
'Bernie Sanders is so pro net neutrality, his face is probably on dart boards in Verizon and Comcast offices across the nation. In 2014, he gave a fiery Senate speech in support of reclassifying broadband under Title II, even saying that fast lanes “were grotesquely unfair.” Sanders also led an effort to go after fraudulent cable and broadband pricing, and he’s openly stated that Broadband access “is a necessity, not a luxury.”

The Vermont senator’s own $1 trillion infrastructure plan is the closest of any candidate’s promise to the American Society of Civil Engineer’s own $3.6 trillion estimate needed to repair America’s deteriorating infrastructure by 2020. (However, some economists have questioned the Sanders campaign’s math.) Of that large chunk of change, Sanders would spend $5 billion a year for five years improving connectivity and speeds in the US. The only question is whether Sanders can pass such a costly plan without Republican interference.'

3. Good. I hope she sticks with that position

Doesnt let Comcast or other backers convince her otherwise

5. Net Neutrality isn't just a fight against ISPs.

Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has called for a "Manhattan-like project" to help law enforcement break into encrypted communications. This is in reference to the Manhattan Project, the top-secret concentrated research effort which resulted in the US developing nuclear weapons during World War II.

I don't believe this for a second, considering even Comcast has its claws in the Democratic party. Tom Wheeler was an isolated event, I don't believe we'll get another one of him anytime soon.
