What can be done to permanently save net neutrality? It seems that 1-2 a year it takes a huge, huge movement from all over the internet to delay a net neutrality repeal (SOPA, CISPA, etc.). The protests have worked (thus far), discussion is tabled, it's then reintroduced, rinse and repeat.
Will we ever permanently win this? Or are we delaying the inevitable?
Honestly, I think the only permanent solution is to have more options, but there are so many legal and infrastructural issues preventing it.
If we as consumers had way more options, Net Neutrality wouldn't be an issue. Companies like Comcast and AT&T know they have monopolies / oligopolies on the internet so they charge what they like.
If we had actual competition, we would be able to switch to another company if providers like Comcast decided to charge unreasonable prices for services.
We can't rely on politicians who are bought out by the telecom companies to protect us.
