Now you probably may have well heard by now that tomorrow there will be a vote to potentially undo the FCCs repeal on Net Neutrality rules. This vote if successful could keep Net Neutrality in place and ensuring the internet remains open and free. Of course its clear the vote faces an uphill battle considering Trump could easily veto the bill if it reaches and even before that the vote has to make it through the house where Republicans still have a majority. However at this point I have come to the conclusion that even if the vote fails and the Net Neutrality repeal still stands it will still be a hollow victory for Ajit Pai, Comcast, and the Republicans as well. What could result is a ripple effect that could prove devastating for Republicans, the FCC, Trump, and the Big ISPs





Think about it for a second have you ever seen an issue that is practically universally agreed upon by both sides such as Net Neutrality. The masses have already made it clear they will not stand for a closed and controlled internet. Messing with the open internet is basically playing with fire and something Pai is woefully unable to grasp. By forcing a vote to restore Net Neutrality Democrats are basically forcing a line in the sand and making it clear who is for Net Neutrality and who is against it. This brings me to my next point. By supporting the repeal of Net Neutrality Republicans are basically providing Democrats the perfect grounds for a Pro Consumer campaign platform these coming mid terms which if handled effectively can make for a very effective means of attracting easy votes and support. If the dems play their hand right Republicans will have a very difficult time trying to compete.





Looking at things in a bit more depth its not hard to see how the repeal of Net Neutrality could blow up spectacularly in Comcasts face. What I forsee happening is them losing a good deal of customers as well as more cities and states being motivated to push for their own private networks and state net neutrality laws which are things the big Telecom companies have been fighting tooth and nail against for such a long time. Also expect more lawsuits to happen which there have been plenty already

Ultimately the ripple effect will inevitably hit Trump himself and provide people with yet another reason not to vote for him again





Even if we do not actually win tomorrow remember that the FCC will be forever haunted by the droves of angry people who had their internet rights violated by one man who was deaf to all but the words of his corporate benefactors
