Net Neutrality enforcement and bashing

    >>150492138
    The US was under the assumption that net neutrality laws applied for 30 years going. It wasn't until Verizon won a lawsuit about it that the rules no longer applied to them. They promptly began fucking everyone over:

    2005 - Madison River Communications was blocking VOIP services. The FCC put a stop to it.

    2007-2009 - AT&T was having Skype and other VOIPs blocked because they didn't like there was competition for their cellphones.

    2011-2013, AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon were blocking access to Google Wallet because it competed with their bullshit.

    2012, Verizon was demanding google block tethering apps on android because it let owners avoid their $20 tethering fee. This was despite guaranteeing they wouldn't do that as part of a winning bid on an airwaves auction.
