The 2015 Open Internet Order didn't do even 1/10th of the things
attributed to it. It had nothing to do with congestion, censorship,
freedom, service pricing, etc.
The rules were no blocking, no throttling, and no paid prioritization.
All three rules had the exception for "reasonable network management".
Reasonable management was not specifically defined, but in discussion it
was said to be driven by a technical need rather than a business one.
So the blocking and throttling we all do to make traffic flow properly
was ok and nobody was ever going to pay any of us for prioritization.
I've never been convinced that the rule was necessary. It seemed like a
rule saying ISP's can't build moon rockets....like ok I'll stop my
Apollo project immediately.
The actual rules were trivial to obey and I'd bet almost nobody here was
ever breaking them My only concern was Title II status could open the
door on additional rules that might be more onerous later.

Why force your competition to be less bad?

If net neutrality comes back, there will likely be similar exemptions
for ISP's less than 100k subscribers or whatever the number was before.
It shouldn't affect us in any real way. It will force the big ISP's to
be good (better?) guys and not let peering cross connects fill up and
become congested for example.

Net neutrality seems likely to make a comeback. Would it change
anything
I do? No, but it might add annoying paperwork. Worst case someone
thinks
I'm doing something and files a formal complaint, which would
waste time
having to answer it.
