I don't know if I arrive in late, but I'd love to contribute to this discuss. It's true I'm not an American citizen, therefore my sight of the issue in the US context might be blurry from the outside.
I'm very concerned with this. Not so long ago I would trust the voters to clearly say "no" about such a proposal. But right now I'm very likely to feel distrustful, even if I'm certain some FCC members are against this craziness. My hopes are on the "No" but I fear the "Yes".
I think net neutrality it's invisible for those users who actually use the internet for a couple of simple things such as facebook and mail (which are a wide range of the internet users) or if not, either way, net neutrality breakdown seems like a fair internet system in the economy model of the US (and mostly the rest of the world) so thinking the net could perfectly work without it is a -dangerous but plausible- output.
If this happens, the rest of the users who stood in the internet neutrality side, will need to change their digital routine to the ones that are used in countries like China by concerned users or international press. I'm used to throw speeches about internet censorship and privacy awareness in my country, and one thing that sometimes happened to me is being asked "why care" about such things like "privacy" if we are "legit" or "censorship" if their favorite social network is still available (which is not always the case, by the way). I think the most horrific output that we might witness is the users apathy on the issue.
From the outside of the US, I just hope this doesn't happen. US have a huge impact in the rest of the world and the net neutrality breakdown there could be the wick for the rest of the countries in Europe, apart from the fact that (even if it's not the case for the rest of us) millions of users will be affected by it. And frankly, once it's done, I think that is tremendously difficult to go back to a neutral system.
I think my words are very negative, but I hope net neutrality stands in your country.
