That'll have impact on ops, if some of the papers are correct.
Briefly:
https://www.engadget.com/2016/11/09/under-trump-the-future-of-net-neutrality-and-broadband-is-uncert
"Eisenach has made a career out of crusading against industry
regulation"
"...authored several papers and op-ed pieces that were funded by
Net Neutrality opponents ..."
http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-fcc-net-neutrality-zero-rating-policy-future-2016-11
"The Economics of Zero Rating." In it, Eisenach defends the concept,
writing that "broad-based bans or restrictions on zero-rating plans
are likely to be counterproductive and harm consumer welfare."
Interesting times ahead...
