[QUOTE="SMS, post: 3062680, member: 42"] The main net neutrality talking points always revolve around ISPs picking and choosing who gets access at what cost, but the real issue is consolidation and lack of competition. Half of all internet traffic today comes from just 30 companies/corporations, the largest of which are of course Google, Facebook and Netflix. Those companies are actually joining forces with ISPs like Comcast and creating mega ISPs that could threaten true competition. Heck, it’s already impossible to find more than one or two ISP options (that supply useful data rates) in most areas right now. Something like 75% of American homes have only one choice of ISP at 25Mbs or higher. 20% have no broadband access at all. Net neutrality didn’t directly tackle that problem but it helped “hold the line” so to speak. [/QUOTE]
