You realize that since the internet was invented that it's been operating under the rules of net neutrality, right? Up until the FCC was ruled against a year ago or so, everyone was operating under net neutrality. Once the FCC was ruled against, then it opened the market up to being less regulated. All the FCC is really trying to do now is go back to the way it was about a year ago. So no, costs will not be going up. It will be business as usual as it was from about 1994 to early 2014.

Because some people paying more means other poorer people are able to afford it all. We all prosper. Keep in mind, I'm only talking about necessities. We can debate what is a necessity and what isn't, but that's another discussion.
