It was a big giveaway to the big internet provider companies...they can throttle anything they want, any time they want, for any reason they want, and don't have to report it.

If Comcast wants you to stream its own streaming service rather than AT&T's, it can throttle AT&T so it doesn't work well for you. It can throttle small streaming services, so that they can't get off the ground and be profitable enough to compete.

It was WRONG to remove net neutrality.
