The Art Of "Kicking The Can" -- Uncertainty Rules When It Comes To Net Neutrality

Now that these rules are in place, it will protect Verizon or Comcast from potentially trying to slow down Netflix traffic because they want you to be watching their own television service. So in that sense, it adds protection for consumers.
