Net Neutrality is just doublespeak for "more government intrusion". People who demand free stuff shouldn't be surprised when it turns out there's no such thing as a free lunch and the greater is government's involvement, less freedom of choice is available to the public. Deregulation and competition (not industry + government collaboration) means companies fighting for consumer dollars.

Competition? Kinda like how most people in the US only have one choice of ISP?

Net Neutrality is GOOD for the consumer. Without it, companies will charge you more for different types of data, even though there is no difference in how that data is delivered. That's exactly what's happening here. If T-Mobile and these other companies are able to "handle the load" for STREAMING MOVIES, then why is there even a "bucket" of data in the first place? Data doesn't run out. It's an artificial scarcity. If we follow net neutrality, then if they can make some data not count, then they can make all data not count. Anything else is pure corporate greed.
