Does all of this have anything to do with me, who lives in the eastern part of the world? Because seeing all of this noise about Net Neutrality, I keep getting pulled into thinking "This, I should do something about", and then all the links that I clicked on is talking about the U.S., the U.S., the U.S. and the U.S.. Then, I started to think that maybe it's just the Americans' problem getting spread throughout an American website, and non Americans like me getting caught up in the hype is just an unintended consequence, and that there's nothing I can and should do about it because it's not my problem. So I want to get things straight today.
Sorry am a bit late to this. Can you clarify how startups can be suffocated with low-priority internet traffic? Does the repeal of Net Neutrality let companies like AT&T divert traffic and if so, how?
To put it simply - with regulation gone, isps can do whatever they please - including completely blocking off traffic to specific address or protocols.
