Of course Netflix is in favor of net neutrality, I seem to recall when this was first being proposed they were responsible for something like 10% of all network traffic.

Do you really think they'd be opposed to a plan that basically subsidizes their bandwidth?

Same for all the other internet giants, net neutrality pretty much cemented their spot in the status quo.

no it's not subsidizing. Basically I pay X amount to the ISP to ACTUALLY VIEW NETFLIX. Basically the ISP gets more out of the deal by having access to netflix, not the other way.

Huh, wonder why they didn't make that clear leading up to today.

I understand you're being sarcastic, but pro-NN folks like the OP are claiming that big business will shut down attempts to reinstate NN. That's an incorrect claim; some of the largest, richest, most powerful companies on the planet are pro-NN. It's dishonest to characterize big companies as the driving force behind anti-NN legislation.

Good point.

It's just a bit strange that there was less protest from the giants this time than in past Net Neutrality battles. It's beginning to seem like a number of these large web companies have become ambivalent to the issue.

Actually, many of them are not. Because they're big they can afford to pay ISPs to no throttle their traffic, while their small competitors can't.

Why would an ISP charge for netflix to deliver their content, when they can just throttle netflix and offer their own content. Go big or go home.

Well yeah. Their services will definitely be part of the "Core Internet Bundle" and their small competitors' services definitely will not be!
