Net Neutrality – The End of Google’s Biggest Subsidy

This article seems to think content providers have been on an unlimited data plan and the elimination of net neutrality means they must pay per byte.

That is not the case. Netflix and YouTube already pay in proportion for the bandwidth they consume.

Aside from being factually incorrect, the article's incoherent, rambling style is awful.

I am sorry but this is less of an article than a rant. A poor one at that.

First the misunderstood net neutrality notion. Even if one was to presume that Google's "COGS" was low and now it will meet market demand. The problem is Google can somewhat afford to increase their "COGS". But someone trying to build another Google will get killed because now the costs have increased.

Then there is something about blockchain and Steemit out from the left field.

I think this is a poorly written rant on an albeit important issue. Content providers should also abide by some net neutrality rules, such as not censoring speech or websites, or content in general. They should also pay for the bandwidth they use. I think Google, Facebook, and Netflix do not support net neutrality out of altruism, but out of a business need. It's important we keep that in perspective.

Poor bandwidth has nothing to do with Net Neutrality and everything to do with ~zero competition.

There's a reason these folks are fighting municipal broadband.
