To paraphrase my AI, it gave me a heads-up that in the US the repeal of net neutrality rules took place in 2017 with the repeal of the 2015 Open Internet Order. Some insights as to why it took place would be appreciated as I assume lobbyists in Congress were saying the Order was impacting ISP Business models.

Thx. It will take a while to go thru these - I will look to see if Library of Congress has anything.

Here is my opinion on Net Neutrality and why its a big farse and a scam. Here in the United States there should be no law or policy that limits access to information and Net Nuetrality does just that take for instance Streaming Companies like Netflix, Disney, Hulu, and others it would prevent these companies from getting into contact deals with say Verizon to offer discounts and better service to Verizon Mobile Customers and offer one account for all. I also feel that this would prevent ISP's from offering better service to those that subscribe to Business class services like Static IP's and the ability to run business style services at home. I have Verizon Business Class FIOS and I am able to use my personal email server to send to a lot of domains unhindered because of static IP's. Net Neutrality would mean that home or residential plans would be given this same access.
