Net neutrality dead (again)

IIRC, struck down by the courts back in 2017.

In blow to Democrats, federal appeals court strikes down net neutrality
https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/01/02/net-neutrality-fcc-sixth-circuit-strike-down/
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit struck down the FCC’s net neutrality rules governing internet service providers Thursday in an early policy win for Republicans seeking to reverse Biden-era industry regulation. Democrats at the Federal Communications Commission had considered the reinstatement of net neutrality a major accomplishment under the Biden administration…

The net neutrality issue revolves around how heavily federal regulators should control the companies that build and operate the internet.

Yep. Lack of “net neutrality” is going to make your internet connection slower, or more expensive for the previous level of performance.

Give them what they voted for – good and hard. {{ LOL }}

Yes. Good news for Elon.
Starlink will benefit.

Starlink is part of SpaceX.
There has been Internet chatter that SpaceX/Starlink will go public, or that Starlink may be spun off and become a separate, publicly traded company.

An IPO might happen in 2025 (unlikely?) 2026 or 2027 (Elon suggested date?).

The astute investor can, today, invest in SpaceX/Starlink today via Cathie Wood’s ARKX.
