This bill is DOA, thanks to the Republican controlled House of Representatives. I wonder how much Verizon, Comcast and AT&amp;T spent to get these clowns elected?<p>Americans should expect to pay a lot more for internet services like Netflix as Verizon, Comcast and AT&amp;T extort as much money as they can from them.<p>America already has slow, shitty internet. The loss of net neutrality will only compound these problems. I foresee US internet ghettoized in the near future: There will be a Verizon ghetto, a Comcast ghetto, and an AT&amp;T ghetto. Each one with its own set of proprietary services, isolated from the others, a throwback to days of CompuServ and Prodigy in the 80s.<p>If I were starting another internet company, it would probably be in a place with faster, cheaper internet. Maybe South Korea.
