Net Neutrality might end.

Do you not understand hyperbole, Surt?

Anyhow, just have the integrity not to bitch and moan if the services you use end up costing more and/or are negatively affected because of this, k.

Hopefully your welfare fraud holds up Surt.

You honestly can't talk until you read my post. The internet is cheaper in Australia then it is here. Australia has no net neutrality. None of the costs would be levied on the consumers, rather on the companies. Competition from satellite would diminish abuse.

Speaking of, Paul Ryan was on some station not long ago defending the tax reform bill, he basically said that the way they're going to refund the money that's being funneled to the wealthiest people/corporations back into the government is by choking or ending "entitlement programs".

Considering the entitlement programs haven't changed the poverty rate at all, I don't know why this is a problem.

So, companies now are going to protect the consumer and just take the full finantial impact without raising prices? Sounds cool friend.

This is standard practice in Trumper land. Corporations don't care about money, or something

Well, a few things. Netflix cannot magically just raise prices. The reason why netflix has their price at 9 dollars and 99 cents is because this is economic equilibrium. That is the price that provides the most profit for netflix. Netflix never raised prices pre net neutrality and the price of Netflix is the same here as it is Australia.

They care about money and the way to maximize your profits is providng a service which the consumers enjoy....

Lol but they wouldn't be getting max profit anymore, would they?

You say this as if big corporations raising prices for services/products was some kind of urban leyend.

Netflix has raised prices before, at least here in Ireland. Has it not done so in the USA?

Yes, but not due to net neutrality. Netflix raises prices due to the point of equilibrium changing.

If raising prices causes Netflix to lose customers, it therefore decreases profits. Hence, why Netflix doesn't have their prices at 50 dollars per month. Or why Comcast doesn't charge 1 million dollars for internet access.

Why didn't I have huge internet costs prior to these regulations?

I'm not saying this means I am in favor of the repeal. I am genuinely asking.

We don't know yet the impact this will have in current market, keeping the same prices might as well be unsustainable in the near future. At least from a max profit viewpoint.

Well, we know Netflix's current price point is designed to give them the most profit. So, we do have some idea.

So what stopped companies from behaving this way prior to 2015?

If these bad things are gonna happen if we repeal something we've only had for a couple of years...well what stopped that before?

And you don't think said equilibrium will shift with Net Neutraility gone? That ISPs won't force them to pay more fees that will eventually get pushed back on the customers?

Some people still fail to understand that while most users/people won't care if a service like Netflix goes up 1-2 dollars as that's a pittance when looked at month to month, it's still a 10-20% increase that Netflix is passing onto the consumer due to their overhead going up...

Well, no as supply and demand is unchanged by net neutrality. Lack of supply and consumer choice change equilibrium. But even if Netflix decided to get cheeky, Hulu would simply sweep up their customers.
