Net Neutrality: The Sky Failed to Fall

[MisterVeritis]

Investors Business Daily:

Good news. The buffoons were wrong.

"A year ago, "net neutrality" zealots warned that its repeal would spell doom for a "free and open" internet. "

They were dupes and idiots, mostly.

"So-called experts predicted that removing this cumbersome Obama-era regulatory scheme — which granted the FCC virtually unchecked power over internet providers — would lead to the demise of the internet."

And buffoons. Did I mention buffoons?

"Repealing "net neutrality" regulations "would be the final pillow in (the internet's) face," said The New York Times. The ACLU said it "risks erosion of the biggest free-speech platform the world has ever known." CNET declared that "net neutrality repeal means your internet may never be the same." CNN labeled repeal the "end of the internet as we know it.""


Damned fools.

"In fact, average internet speeds climbed by roughly a third last year. The number of homes with access to fiber internet jumped 23% last year, according to the Fiber Broadband Association."

If we can keep the government out of its way the Internet will be far better than any of us can imagine in ten years.

It basically exploded during the period before government inserted itself into the industry. As long as government stays out, it will prosper.
