Overturning #NetNeutrality rules - How it will affect you... Consumer advocates argue that if the Net Neutrality rules get scrapped, broadband providers will begin selling the internet in bundles, not unlike how cable television such as Foxtel is sold today - forcing you to BUY a bundle of access that includes stuff you don't want to be able to see what you do want - plus increasing exposure to advertising.
Want to access Facebook and Twitter? Under a bundling system, getting on those sites could require paying for a premium social media package.
Another major concern is that consumers will suffer from "pay-to-play" deals. Without rules prohibiting paid prioritisation, a fast lane could be occupied by big internet and media companies, as well as affluent households, while everyone else would be left on the slow lane.
E-commerce startups have fear they will end up on the losing end of paid prioritization, where their websites and services load slower than those run by the internet giants.
Remote workers of all kinds, including freelancers and franchisees working in the gig economy, could rapidly face higher costs to do their jobs from home.
