That's, in terms you might understand: slow lane, highway, autobahn.

Those without a clue (like you) and those that have something to gain with the repeal of net neutrality, say "fast lanes" will be good.

Except, they ALREADY EXIST.

In short, the repeal of net neutrality means: giving an unprecedented amount of control to ISPs, and allowing them to double-dip consumers since we'll be paying for the increased costs that this would entail.
Who controls the prices you sell, the government or you?

No, the digital revolution changed the game, disrupted your business model, and you couldn't adapt.

But guess what? You're not alone. The internet/digital revolution changed pretty much EVERYBODY'S game.

Go ask those in journalism how they feel about the internet/twitter/social media. Or those in the printing industry.

When was the last time you saw a bike courier? What about photographers, how do they feel about digital technology?

And what about film development companies? And the thousands of companies that developed products related to it?

One can choose to feel bitter about it, or one can try to adapt.

I know which one you chose
So you will have to adapt to selling more product for a better price because of giving it away will end. Or do you believe Tube sites will be given a deal so good they aren't affected?

I don't have to adept, I made my fortune with porn before the industry decided to give it away. I'm retired.
