Generally glad that the order was upheld. I do wish that zero rating was more clearly defined, but regulation is just as much a reactive task as a proactive one, and it will be interesting to see how the ISPs use that tool in their toolbox. My suspicion is that we would see general price increases but then a 'zero rating' for, say, streaming video, making it seem like a good deal. Video seems cheaper but is really just subsidized by the rest of the content.

I see a parallel there to how the health insurance situation in America seems to have played out over the last few years from the view point of the average middle class developer.



Really, really good point! The FCC is deciding the outcome of those plans now, groups are calling for an open process to the decision so that there isn't any bad ruling before people can weigh in and all sides looked at.
