If it's going to have to be decided legislatively, then telecom companies might come to regret basically treating their customers liek shit for the last 30 years because of their regional monopolies. Smoking billionaire coq or not, is there anyone, even people who work for cable companies, that want internet service to be moar like cable service? My vision of the government's role in regulating the internet would be: a) FTC, FCC or other government branch that enforces compliance with representations/service level commitments made re speed for all sites in general (so if ISP sells service for 10 MB/sec, government can seek redress for violations) b) Antitrust enforcement (to prevent content owners from denying access to competitors or potential competitors) I see absolutely no reason why if a and b are complied with, Comcast couldn't cut a side deal with Netflix so that Netflix could boost delivery speeds for its specific content so that it could deliver brilliant HD quality at 20 MB/sec to someone who opts for a lower speed internet connection. Think about it - your ISP tells you that you will get 10 MB/sec speeds - the government should hold them to that, but no one is made worse off if some heavy user, liek Netflix, works behind the scenes to improve its connection with your ISP. You still get everything else at 10 MB, but you get a boost for Netflix. Shit has jumped the shark when people act liek the whole fucking internet will just turn off if Netflix pays for higher speeds. Honestly, I don't have a solid grasp on the issue outside of the potential impact on pr0n, so I don't know what you're talking about. However, like I said, no Congresscritter wants to be the guy who sides with the cable company instead of Netflix, because everyone hates the cable company and everyone loves Netflix. A guy liek Cruz knows he can do literally whatever he wants with no electoral repercussions, but some Bible thumping, first term back-bencher doesn't want to be lumped in with the people that tortured Jack Nicholson when he tried to cancel his service.
