I think we're more protected from any shit like this. Not just legally, but I mean there's actually a lot of competition for internet providers here. From what I understand the US internet situation is completely messed up with very little choice between providers, I think some regions literally only have one choice even, so if they want to carve up the internet and charge piece by piece for it there's nobody waiting to take all their customers by offering a better deal like we have.

I never actually thought about that lol, and if we're protected from this stuff legally too, then yeah, it's all good I suppose... at least here anyway, lol.

We can always hope that our countries are more protected from things like this. But in the US the only protection is the one they're currently attempting to dismantle.
The Freepress Action Fund reviewed Ajit Pai's bill and this is their conclusion.
Point #2 is particularly interesting.
Again, I can only hope that we have more protections here, but I don't know that for certain. And this happening in the USA would probably incentivize more countries to follow suit.

My main hope here in Australia is you have the NBN so you don't have to be in bed with , buy from or piggy back off an existing ISP to gain network access.
As far as I'm concerned I pay for network access and a certain amount of bandwidth ,where I go is my concern.
