F.C.C., in Turnaround on "Net Neutrality" Plans to Allow Fast Lane

(NYTimes): http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/24/technology/fcc-new-net-neutrality-rules.html
 
   "The new rules, according to the people briefed on them, will allow a
    company like Comcast or Verizon to negotiate separately with each
    content company like Netflix, Amazon, Disney or Google and charge
    different companies different amounts for priority service.  That, of
    course, could increase costs for content companies, which would then
    have an incentive to pass on those costs to consumers as part of their
    subscription prices."

Put a cable guy in charge of the FCC, and what do you get? Yep.
