Before this snowball gets any bigger, I would like to reiterate the previous commenter calling for this present political discussion to move elsewhere. Here's the NANOG AUP we've all agreed to:
NANOG Acceptable Use Policy
* Discussion will focus on Internet operational and technical issues as described in the charter of NANOG<https://www.nanog.org/history/charter>.
* Postings of issues inconsistent with the charter are prohibited.
* Postings of political, philosophical, and legal nature are prohibited.
You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.

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...
