You see but they actually can and probably will give themselves the power to regulate ISPs. Just like they took away that power in 2002

I have a question for you. Are you simply happy that they lost the case, or are you against net neutrality?

More the former than the latter. I'm extremely skeptical of net neutrality, but not really convinced either way.

What's to be skeptical of? All traffic should get equal priority, especially given that the "bigger" companies already get better speeds, since you're often bottlenecked by the server's response time rather than your ISPs limitations. Companies can compete simply by upgrading server capacities rather than telling ISPs to throttle other traffic.

Net neutrality is akin to antitrust rules in its execution: it encourages fair practices and "pure" competition.
