I wish this wasn't being framed with "Big loss for corporations" and instead was being framed as "Big win for consumers."

Except it's not. I was excited when I read the headline...it's only for people under an income threshold.

It's going to turn broadband into healthcare as they try to make up that profit.

In outcome, sure. But there's a very big difference in the meaning behind the story.

This is excellent, though I have no doubt Trump's incoming FCC is going to try to kill this deader than Dillinger. A Fascists worst nightmare is the cheap free flow of information, which might foment protest against their rule, especially and primarily giving that access to the poor and underserved.

In a 2-1 opinion, a panel of 2nd Circuit appeals court judges said the Pai-era FCC "order stripped the agency of its authority to regulate the rates charged for broadband Internet

It was their own fault to begin with hahahaha

Their message of "states rights" is gonna die so hard over the next years. GOP party of big government here to stay.

It's almost like it was just a convenient slogan the whole time, not an actual belief.

Fascists worst nightmare is the cheap free flow of information,

We had 20 years of about this in US but somehow we still ended normie core doing political circle jerks and larping corpo atrorufs. Clearly free flow of information didn't result in the expected out come here.

Maybe in a generation plebs level up but who knows for now the beating continue but we can't seem to figure out who is beating us...

I hate that news like this gets framed as "Big loss for ISPs" instead of "Big win for consumers"

Fuck'em. Abandon your networks and let literally anyone else takeover and buy them at auction.

Not ever US business needs to be a fucking billionaire gain for fucking fuck's sake.
