Re: The battle for Net Neutrality Continues...
Corporatism, in this case, will lead to widespread political correctness. Of that I am nearly certain.
edit: A bit of an addendum because it came to mind, the alternate choice in the election was Hillary Clinton, someone who supported the TPP.
The TPP was arguably worse, this issue crosses party lines, it would've happened either way.

Corporatocracy.
Corporatism != Corporatocracy.

Re: The battle for Net Neutrality Continues...
I would like to point out as quite a lot of people seem to not understand.
ISPs are considered Natural Monopolies, which is a fancy way of saying that it is really expensive and inconvenient to initially build (say infrastructure) thus naturally encouraging a lack of competition.
Anybody attempting to argue that the government shouldnt regulate an ISP or that ISPs need "competition". Is somebody who probably would argue that a city needs more then one water service, or that the government shouldnt regulate a privately owned powerplant that offers electricity to half of a State.

Re: The battle for Net Neutrality Continues...
Rip, the decision has been made and Net neutrality has been repelled. Of 12-14-17, I believe many companies and sources obviously still stand even grander causing FCC's decision to be reprimanded perhaps. Unsure on political short but hope something comes of change.

Long time ago, I, Ka'Torag-na Halkrath, Skilled Master Hunter Of Prey, Unleashed an unspeakable evil upon Xenos and Humans! But a foolish Xeno Hunter wielder of robustness stepped forth and opposed me. Before the final blow was struck, I tore a gate of Salt of Solitude and flung em into the world of CM, and took out their Facehugger Capabilities! Now, this Xeno Fool seeks to return the favour, and undo my evil reign and of many other predator predecessors!
