Capitalist Realism in the U.S. meets the Internet in the recent "net neutrality" decision of the federal appeals court -- leading to reports like "Major cable providers already have pledged not to do the kinds of things the rules were designed to ban."

Do you believe that?

Right. Me either.

In a decade, the internet in the U.S. will look nothing like it does today as the broadband suppliers invent new "business models" designed to optimize profitability at the expense of free access.
