New rules laid out by FCC (Net Neutrality dead?)

- ISPs now have to go through the FCC to throttle connections
- ISPs now have to be more transparent with customers over what is being throttled and why
- Businesses can pay ISPs to show preference to their packets.

I don't see how this leads to a slower SP. Maybe a bit slower? Big deal. This is small time.

This was a great choice. Regulate the ISPs and businesses.

Remember when Verizon blacklisted 4chan, and soon after their website was DDoS'd?
That's what I gather the fear is. That corporate internet nets will catch any rival website and blacklist it from being seen, e.g. Comcast banning verizon's website or vice versa.
