[QUOTE="Hobbes, post: 2715667, member: 3371"] I don't think so. The FCC is implementing rules that prohibit the telecom companies from pursuing practices that inhibit competition. Paid prioritization for example is an impediment to competition. It favors big established companies over small startup companies. Another part of the NN order that hasn't been emphasized enough is their order prohibiting state legislatures from limiting competition. The ISP lobby has convinced/bribed legislatures to pass laws that prohibit municipalities from expanding their own internet systems.
