Lol... if people actually voted in that type of way, our presidency would look different.

Not reading anything but the headline, all I could think was "duh".

That’s not remotely the end of the process: if it’s approved, the resolution will go to the House, and if it passes there,
the desk of Donald Trump, who seems unlikely to approve it. -

But it's being spin as against personal liberties so they'll be for it because there majority don't often do any research.

TLDR: ISPs will be bashing each other and using NN to justify charging you more for less...
Yesterday I called WOW cable to renegotiate my internet service as my contract promotional period had expired. Comcast was offering 100/15 for $44.99, I was currently paying $55 for 30/5. After getting past the initial sales person, I'm on with retention... I explain to them what Comcast was offering, so she repeats some garbage offer which still isn't even close to Comcast. So when I repeat that it's not even close, she brings up NN and reassures me how serious WOW is about an unregulated internet and how terrible Comcast will be, and that WOW's 60Mbps service would likely be better than Comcast's 100Mbps service because we all know they'll be throttling everything they can. I ended up with 100Mbps from them for $39.99/month.

She has a point - and I do fully expect to pay a higher price because of it as long as NN isn't a law.

For profit vs non profit, yet there is still enough money left over in the charges for municipality ISP to pay for other city services, according to the article.

That is an update to commenters questions, not an official part of the article. Although it would be interesting to see that information (if it exists in the data set)
