Eight years ago, I predicted the worst. Net Neutrality, which had only become a thing a few short years before, was struck down by the original Trump Administration in 2017. At the time, I pronounced it dead and laid out all the bad things that would happen as a result.
Now, after a Federal Appeals court ruled against the Biden Administration's long-stalled efforts to reinstate Net Neutrality, I have to admit that I was wrong. Net Neutrality was never the Internet freedom fighter we thought it was in part because it was also a product of its era, and the online and broadband world has shifted under our feet.
