Net Neutrality

This statement by POTUS is pretty good.

Even the net neutrality groups aren't, as far as I understand (correct me if I'm wrong!), necessarily against "paid prioritization," as long as it isn't about oligopolists colluding with oligopolists. Meaning, it's one thing to recognize that maybe video streaming, to work properly, needs prioritization, another thing to use that to let people with market power exclude new entrants, etc.

Obviously we should just have public fiber everywhere but that's commie talk so shut up.
