Nobody here seems to understand what Net Neutrality is! And you supposedly are internet entrepreneurs?!
Net Neutrality was the name for the FCC rule that states that ISPs (actual ISPs for customers, not hosts) are not allowed to charge different costs to CONSUMERS depending on the TYPE of traffic they use.
It has nothing to do with hosting. Hosting providers can do whatever they want since day one.
This means that, without NetNeutrality, AT&T for example could charge their customers NOTHING for just surfing the web, but $5 a minute for watching a video on any streaming website (obviously exaggerated). Or Comcast could charge people $5 per MB for torrents they download, and $10 a month if they use video streaming services other than those Comcast owns (argument being, that Comcast has no cost internally using its own systems, but externally needs to fill its network with traffic from outside sources and thus invest more in infrastructure).
These are just two examples of what Net Neutrality is all about.
That being said, yes, you are correct, it could mean problems for Tube Sites because customers might start to pay more money to their ISPs if they visit any porn tube sites. Theoretically this could be now possible to implement. I doubt they will though.
Hope this helps people understand better...
