answering your questions. All of them.*

starting with the paradoxical definition of Net Neutrality - "You know it
when you don’t see it."

Conclusion:

​Clearly, rules other than those in the 2015 Order are possible within the
existing Title II framework, but the current real options are variations of
the 2015 Order or hoping that providers self-interest, the FTC and
antitrust law will protect consumers. Unless the court overturns the 2017
Order, US consumers will be the, largely unenthusiastic, subjects of this
experiment.

He suggests concerned citizens '"limit the damage" by actively engaging
their local representatives, especially at community forums.
