Interests, Benefits, and Harms
Explain the interests of this group, as well as ways that
they could benefit or be harmed because of the dilemma.
 (net neutrality made all) ISPs had to treat all traffic
the same on their network.
 can't block or slow down data from certain sites or
apps. They can't make special deals to move certain
data faster than everybody else's data.
 If they could charge content providers extra, they
could make a lot of money and because FCC
scrapped the net neutrality rules, they almost
certainly will.
 will also be able to charge customers more to access
sites or apps that take up more bandwidth.
 by privileging established apps/tools, those plans
could make it a lot harder for new apps/tools to break
through.
 Internet content providers love Net neutrality because
it means that even if some of their products take up a
lot more bandwidth than others, ISPs can't charge
them extra for getting all the date to phones and
computers.
 With net neutrality gone, ISPs can prioritize their
own services, while hurting ICPs.
 Net neutrality is part of the reason why we aren't
stuck with certain "old" apps/tools (like MySpace).
 regulations kept phone companies from charging
customers extra.
 if ISPs start blocking, slowing down, or charging
more, users’ options are to deal with it or go without
the internet.
 consumer advocates say that the repeal is just
pandering to big business and that cable and phone
giants will now be free to block access to services
they don’t like. 
 Probably won’t mess with existing services because
it could alienate customers.
