1) It was only illegal from 2015-2017, right?
2) I have multiple ISP options in my neighborhood in a small city. ISPs don’t have a monopoly everywhere.
3) If the ISPs abuse their power, the FCC can always switch them back to Title II.
2) Good for you, Are those options all wireless... Wireless is not a replacement for wired service. Further How about you think of Americans other than your self. As of 2015 under the current definition of broadband (25mpbs or higher) there are no ISPs at all in 30 percent of developed census blocks options for Fixed Broadband, 48% had 1 Option, only 3% had 3 or more choices...

3) There is not IF, ISP have abused their power, and will do so again

And that is only a Small part of the NN Violations, many of which are suspected but can not be proven
2) Cable and DSL are the two I'm thinking of. (Though AT&T has just rolled out fiber-to-the-home, Comcast probably will too soon.) I'm currently paying Comcast $20/mo (intro-rate) for 16mbs. It's not broadband, but it's plenty for streaming Netflix, etc. I don't need broadband.
3) I'm also hoping that any abuses will encourage competition of ISPs.
And that is just with Today's Usage, the problem is one this type of service is ingrained it will be hard to get rid of it, so we will either never see the next new technology because the gate keepers will have killed it, or if we do it will be prohibitively expensive for the average consumer
One reason 4K is getting such good adoption is open internet.
Under a Closed Internet we are moving to we will see an EXTREME slow down in technology improvement.
Heck, look at Google Fiber. Even Google threw in the towel and said 'no more', basically.
It was prohibited by regulation from 2010-2014 and 2015-2017 and contrary to non-regulation FCC policy enforced through case-by-case action from 2005-2010.
> 3) If the ISPs abuse their power, the FCC can always switch them back to Title II.
The ISPs did so repeatedly throughout the case-by-case enforcement period, which is why the FCC adopted the first regulatory package in 2010 (while this was finalized after case-by-case was struck down by the courts, the process was started earlier.)
