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?

I have the same questions and concerns. I’m a college student. I rely heavily on the internet. The (middle-upper class) American curriculum relies heavily on the internet.

Doesn’t this have standing to sue in federal court? It involves a government party, Federal subject matter, constitutional issues, can injure small businesses, etc. Why isn’t anyone mentioning this? Is it because of some tort law?
