I heavily disagree that the internet is now forever broken as this writer is mentioning. One year the U.S. can take one stance, but on the next year they can take another. The whole notion of being broken "For good" implies 'forever' and forever is a lot longer than the writer may realize.
People will know and figure out if ISPs are in fact abusing their powers. Yes, I agree that all ISPs are evil in their own way and there is nothing we can do about that. Although, I think that the ISPs know that they are making more money off of their users than they would throttling other sites thus retaining those users is of the utmost importance.
