What are you complaining about? You actually have net neutrality. [/bq]
He may have it but it doesn't make the situation in America totally irrelevant to him. On a purely numbers side the vast majority of internet traffic passes through American servers. Not knowing the current rules there's a possible implication that foreign traffic could be inadvertently affected. Or at the least the re-prioritizing of traffic away from sites such as Netflix, Steam, or what have you would have consequences in other parts of the globe by damaging their bottom lines and thus the quality of their service elsewhere; Netflix may begin charging more over all, and people from his area more for what is an American problem because slower traffic and an ISP-enforced paywall to have full speed for services like Netflix would cut the potential number of consumers for Netflix, and affect their bottom line. They will likely see the need to make up for that.
Aside from China, which is a pretty insulated internet as it has an economy, the United States is perhaps one of the largest base of internet users and limiting them would send out ripples.
On an almost philosophical bases is it not bad to worry about other people elsewhere?
