  8. Re:People are more worried about jobs on Pirate Bay Founder: 'I Have Given Up' (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    That means everyone is going to be stuck in a low competition environment where the incumbents have a huge advantage.

    To see who gets the advantage from net neutrality, look at who is sponsoring it: Google/YouTube, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, Netflix. Do you seriously want us to believe that on this one issue, these companies are putting aside their incumbent advantage and lobbying to make it easier and cheaper for small competitors to compete with them. Get real. These companies know that "net neutrality" is in their financial advantage and makes it harder for small companies to compete.

    or you look at who's opposing it. in this case AT&T, Verizon, Comcast.
