So you’re fine with the idea that every time you load news​.ycombi​na​tor​.com your ISP charges you $0.10 extra, but if you load TMZ​.com it’s free? That would not be “the internet” in my books, and I’m glad that across the world, from Obama &amp; the FCC to India, people are standing steadfast to endorse net neutrality.<p>As for why there’s no turning back: for most of the internet’s history we’ve had ‘de facto’ net neutrality so we can codify the regulations without disruption. As soon as ISPs get habituated to pricing usage based on the app, it will be difficult to put the genie back in the bottle.
