2005 - Madison River Communications was blocking VOIP services. The FCC put a stop to it.
2005 - Comcast was denying access to p2p services without notifying customers.
2007-2009 - AT&T was having Skype and other VOIPs blocked because they didn't like there was competition for their cellphones.
2011 - MetroPCS tried to block all streaming except youtube. They actually sued the FCC over this.
2011-2013, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon were blocking access to Google Wallet because it competed with their bullshit. This one happened literally months after the trio were busted collaborating with Google to block apps from the android marketplace.
2012, Verizon was demanding google block tethering apps on android because it let owners avoid their $20 tethering fee. This was despite guaranteeing they wouldn't do that as part of a winning bid on an airwaves auction. (edit: they were fined $1.25million over this)
2012, AT&T - tried to block access to FaceTime unless customers paid more money.
2013, Verizon literally stated that the only thing stopping them from favoring some content providers over other providers were the net neutrality rules in place.

Am I saying that the FCC is inherently evil? no.
Am I saying they ahve the power to be evil? yes.
Am I saying they have been evil? In some ways, i disagree with some choices they make, but they havent been yet.
Are you saying they are evil because they got rid of NN? yes.
Am I saying they have the potential to be evil? yes.
Do you get the fucking connection between what happened and what I am saying CAN happen? Apparently not, yet and its been like 9 pages.
PS call your state and ask for state legislation if you care about any of this nonsense.
