Not smart btw. Just a pissed-off layperson.

1) The repeal will likely go to court, where it may eventually be overturned. However, this takes time and during the court battle Comcast, Verizon et al will be able to run wild.

2) Don't know much about this one. Sounds like if you can't get to sites for trading cryptocurrency (if that's how it works) it will be hard to justify spending money on it.

3) No clue but it gives me a bad feeling. These telecoms have proven ill intent many times before. Stifling innovation, gagging certain viewpoints and cutting off specific users' access to specific sites would be scary. Who knows if they'll actually go there but I don't put anything past Comcast.

4) It isn't the end, but it may be the beginning of the end. Losing the internet as a tool to collaborate and pool knowledge would be a huge blow to many scientific efforts. Additionally, this may provide extra incentive for companies to leave the US, since outside of America there are still several countries who have codified net neutrality into law. It just sucks, basically, and there's only so much we can do to stop it now.

Unless we all became single-issue voters regarding NN.
